KEYS Club - a drop-in facility for parents / carers and children under 3 with identified needs;
Children are referred from the Community Child Health Services to the Educational Services via Psychological Services. A Pre-SCAT (Pre-School Assessment Team) meeting is convened and attended by parents and appropriate professionals to discuss the needs of and appropriate provision for each child.
