CHILDREN’S services at the Key Centre in Frome , which faced the axe by Somerset County Council, have been given a reprieve.
Somerset County Council cabinet members voted to approve recommendations that the getset ‘level 2’ services be retained until March 2020 across the county.
The news comes in response to a public consultation on the future of the council’s getset services, which proposed that their ‘level 2’ services that offer support to families who have ‘additional needs’ come to an end. Over 700 people took part in the consultation.
Somerset County Council officers will now use the reprieve until March 2020 to explore how the getset ‘level 2’ services could be replicated by working with key partners such as health, police, district councils and the voluntary sector.
