"I have been working with the Lancashire PIVATS team for a number of years now and they have been the most incredible team to work with. They provide extensive training, follow-up support and are remarkably responsive to any query I have ever had. The resources and updates I receive are clear and useful for dissemination. Nothing seems too much trouble and no question is considered silly to ask, they are so supportive. Schools in my area are becoming increasingly impressed by PIVATS and how it can support their CYP in school and the training resources from Lancashire are plentiful. I would highly recommend them as a training provider and join their franchise for your area"
"We have been part of an accredited provider agreement for a good number of years now because it works for us and we feel part of the bigger team. We have always found the arrangement to be positive and supportive. The PIVATS team are very helpful and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble and the response to queries is always very swift. Our views are actively sought, and our feedback, based on our schools’ experiences, is always welcomed and taken seriously. We feel that, over the years, we have been able to support the PIVATS development team and have helped to influence the re-writes of PIVATS over time. We feel very much part of the PIVATS “family” and believe that the positive and strong relationships we have built with the PIVATS team have been very beneficial. The team are always helpful, quick to respond, easy to contact and very accommodating."
