Policies in place at Ivy Lane School
Hesley Group’s designated managers develop policy and best practice initiatives and assess how well we are doing in meeting our objectives and complying with national standards. This includes the management of health and safety and keeping people safe. The organisation consults with young people using the service and their families/representatives.
The Quality Governance Board reports regularly to the Board and Executive on service standards and any improvements needed. Our formal policies can be found below:
