David manages the education provision at the tier 4 hospital in Taunton, Somerset.
It is a regional unit for up to 18 pupils with 12 beds which are normally full. They take pupils form year 4 upwards and the are just in negotiation about the post 16 funding for the provision. They should be moving shortly to much more appropriate premises. David said the nature of the referrals was moving away from eating disorders and psychosis to more emerging personality disorders which they are starting to specialise in. They offer reintegration to school from the unit. David is the only member of staff but he has good support from his multi-agency colleagues.
