Heaton Vale Achieves Advanced Autism Accreditation
Heaton Vale Achieves Advanced Autism Accreditation
We’re proud to announce that Heaton Vale has been awarded Advanced Autism Accreditation from the National Autistic Society—on its first attempt.
This milestone recognises both the everyday commitment of the Heaton Vale team and the strategic support provided by City Care’s Central Support Team (CST). The CST—comprising PBS practitioners and autism specialists —has played a key role in embedding consistent, neurodivergent-informed practice across the service.
“It’s a brilliant achievement and really shows the strong foundations we’ve built through the CST and our shared values. Most of all, it reflects the hard work and commitment of everyone at Heaton Vale who’ve embraced this approach and brought real benefits to the people we support.”
— Phillip Jones, Director of Health & Social Care
Achieving the advanced level of accreditation confirms Heaton Vale’s status as a leading autism-specialist service in Greater Manchester, joining Broom Lane in setting the standard for person-centred, neurodivergent-informed care.
