Clinical Best
Practice and Care
Ensuring that the services provided to children and young people are of the highest possible standard will be a key feature of every successful PACE Setter improvement programme.
To achieve these objectives, PACE Setter organisations will need to adopt innovative, proactive and dynamic approaches to the review and adjustment of their own care pathways. It should be noted that it is a requirement of the PACE Setter programme that safeguarding protocols must be compliant with, or exceed CQC standards.
