A full list of staff qualifications is available from the administrators. All staff participate in a thorough induction training process when they start work at PACE. This ensures that every member of staff has the knowledge and skills to work with the children in a way that addresses all aspects of an education for life. A high staff to child ratio ensures that all needs are met throughout the day.
When necessary a child may work individually with a staff member in a specific area of need, such as speech and communication, sensory integration or academic work. In addition to PACE staff, outside consultants are employed to offer additional expertise as and when required.
The PACE centre seeks to further the best interests of the children at all times and thus has a commitment to close collaboration with other professionals involved with the children and their families. This co-operation between PACE and other medical and educational specialists leads to a consistent approach. Contact is maintained through telephone calls, visits, exchange of reports and attendance at review meetings.
