At RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning we offer individually- tailored care, education, healthcare and therapies for children and young people with multiple disabilities and complex health needs who are blind or partially sighted. We support children and young people who live with us on a 52-week basis and a number of day pupils. There is no minimum age limit but young people leave us in their 19th year.
Our children’s home is run by Linda Cope, Registered Manager and the responsible individual is Ginny Tyler, Principal Manager, Care and Wellbeing. We are registered by Ofsted as a children’s home for 30 children and young people aged 0-19. One of our bungalows (5 Pears Court) provides care and accommodation for up to six children with additional medical needs, and is registered for the provision of nursing care with CQC.
Our school is managed by Emily Hopkins-Hayes, Headteacher. We operate as an integrated service approved by the Department of Education (DfE) as a non-maintained special school and nursery provision for up to 70 pupils aged 2-19. Children are also able to live with us and attend school elsewhere, as appropriate to their needs.
We were previously known as RNIB Rushton School and Children's Home. Our name changed in 2011 in recognition of the exceptional support of Pears Foundation. New modern, purpose-built facilities were officially opened in 2012 following a major redevelopment on-site.

Our primary aim is to enable children and young people who are blind or partially sighted with multiple, complex needs to reach their full personal potential for learning, independence and fulfilment in everyday life. We seek to achieve this by providing a happy and stimulating, yet safe and caring environment.

2. Facilities and services
For children and young people with multiple disabilities and complex health needs who are blind or partially sighted, we offer: up to 52-week residential care healthcare and therapies nursing care for children with additional medical needs education in our specialist school and nursery short breaks and respite care outreach education.
We offer short break stays, in current bungalows, to a discrete group of children and young people where vacancies and compatibility with resident young people allow. This service is provided by individual agreement with the local authority.
We are not a secure children’s home and we do not take emergency admissions.
There are flexible visiting arrangements for families to visit RNIB Pears Centre and flexible arrangements for young people to visit home.
Our care accommodation Our accommodation is arranged in five bungalows, in a residential-style pedestrianised street, called Pears Court. Each of these bungalows caters for up to six children and young people and each has its own dedicated team of staff.
In this way we aim to minimise the effects of living away from home in a larger community and to provide a homely environment that meets the needs of the young people.
Education and school facilities Our purpose-built school offers a range of versatile, well-equipped classrooms and specialist therapy areas. Specialist music, art and science classrooms, two multi-sensory rooms, hall, library and movement room support both group and individual work. A separate area is provided for the sixth form and for early years education. There are excellent facilities for the personal care of children and young people and overhead tracking for hoists is provided.
All areas are accessible to wheelchair users. Corridors are wide and there are good storage facilities for equipment. We aim to provide an uncluttered environment in which young people can use their residual vision and their senses of touch, hearing and smell to develop their orientation and mobility skills. Healthcare and therapies All children and young people at RNIB Pears Centre have access to the highest level of healthcare. Children who live with us are registered with a local General Practitioner (GP) and may have access to a visiting paediatrician. The GP makes a weekly visit to our children’s home and local community health services and hospital appointments are made as and when required.
5 Pears Court is run as a high dependency service and is supported by a 24-hour nursing team. All nursing staff are appropriately qualified to provide care to ventilated children and receive clinical supervision and training through agreements with the NHS Complex Care Team. We are working towards compliance with the latest NHS Standard for Ventilated Children.
Based on-site is a nurse behaviour specialist trained in the care of people with learning disabilities. She is professionally supported by our local health authority in North Warwickshire and by a network of fellow professionals through Coventry University and other external bodies.
Our range of therapies enables children and young people to access the curriculum and leisure activities more effectively, and to maintain and extend their skills and capabilities.
The following therapies are an integral part of our provision: physiotherapy speech and language therapy water therapy music therapy occupational therapy habilitation and mobility proactive behaviour management clinical psychology complementary therapy
We commission clinical psychology services and sensory therapists to support our work with children and young people and assure clinical governance.
Vehicles We have a number of specially adapted vehicles that enable children and young people to be taken out into the community both on an individual basis and in groups. These are used for visits to services, religious and leisure facilities within the local and wider communities. All drivers of the adapted minibuses are MiDAS (Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme) trained.
Outdoor play areas Each bungalow has its own contained garden and patio area for outdoor leisure activities. Wherever possible, children and young people are supported to use community leisure facilities to extend their experience of the world and their local community.
Each classroom has its own outdoor space for break times and curriculum activities. There is a large purpose-built area at the back of school with a story-telling area, lawn and cycle track. We are also developing an area for horticulture near the Sixth Form Centre which includes a polytunnel.
3. Registered provider and manager Registered provider Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) 105 Judd Street, London WC1H 9NE Telephone 0207 388 1266 Registered charity number 226227
Responsible Individual: Virginia Tyler, Principal Manager Care and Wellbeing
Registered Manager: Linda Cope RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning Wheelwright Lane Ash Green Coventry CV7 9RA
4. Relevant qualifications and experience of Registered Manager Linda Cope is a qualified Social Worker who has been with RNIB Pears Centre for over thirty-five years. She has seen major transition and development of the service over that time, including the relocation of the school from Kettering, Northamptonshire to Coventry. Linda offers comprehensive knowledge, understanding and skills in working with young people with complex needs who are blind or partially sighted.
5. Staffing 24-hour care is provided by our dedicated team of social care workers (including waking night staff). Our staffing structure ensures that individual needs of children and young people are met at all times. Between the hours of 7am and 10pm the ratio is at least: two staff for one to two children three staff for three to four children and four staff for five to six children.
At night, eight care workers are on duty distributed as two people per bungalow plus a night team leader. These staffing ratios are considered to be best practice support for children and young people with complex needs.
In the case of 5 Pears Court, children are supported by registered nurses according to individual need, but at a ratio of no less than one nurse to two children. In addition, social care worker support is provided to ensure a full range of learning and living activities are accessible by the young people living there.
These minimum standards are enhanced at times of high staff demand and for leisure activities. Children’s need for discrete staffing is assessed, prior to admission, during placement through the review process and whenever appropriate to ensure we safely meet their individual requirements.
The care provision is managed by the registered manager and the deputy to the registered manager. Team leaders in each bungalow oversee the daytime management of the care teams and are supported by deputy team leaders, with a complement of social care workers. Our in-house healthcare and therapies team support the healthcare needs of the young people. Our provision is underpinned by a team of catering and domestic staff led by a supervisor, provided through an external contract with OCS Catering Ltd. The staff body is representative of both sexes and reflective of different cultures, ethnicity, backgrounds and beliefs.
See appendices for staffing list.
6. Arrangements for employee supervision, training and development All staff employed by RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning are subject to RNIB’s terms and conditions of employment. All are entitled to regular supervisory meetings with their line manager. An annual appraisal, following the RNIB system, is in place for all staff, except teachers, who follow the performance management process in place across the education sector.
Care staff working in Pears Court are supervised according to the Care Standards Act (2000) Regulations, and National Minimum Standards Requirements for Children’s Homes.
Social care workers follow the Children's Workforce Development Council (CWDC) induction programme integrated with in-house training and development. For the first six months of employment and until they pass their probationary period, they are gathering evidence towards their diploma in social care. This qualification should be gained within 16 months of employment. A core group of staff have achieved the NVQ level 3 caring for children and young people. Our existing team leaders and deputies are training to develop their skills in observing staff who are undertaking their diploma.
Teaching staff are required to be qualified teachers, and have to embark upon the mandatory qualification either in teaching visually impaired children or teaching children with multisensory impairment within three years of taking up post.
Healthcare staff receive ongoing professional training and clinical supervision as part of their personal development process. Objectives for individual training and development are identified by the staff member and line manager at least annually.
Support for Personal Development Plans comes from a variety of sources. These include Warwickshire health authority, who provide clinical supervision and training to the registered nursing staff through a specific service level agreement, and Coventry University, who provide access to various post-registration training courses. We are working with Birmingham Children’s Hospital to develop shared training for therapists and nurses as well as the residential care staff as a partnership agreement.
Our Speech and Language Therapists (SALTs) are given monthly clinical supervision by our Lead SALT and a consultant SALT specialist commissioned independently for this purpose. Our Physiotherapist and her support team attend such training and development as appropriate through the local health authority and Coventry University. Mandatory annual updates are provided for the following; Moving and Handling, Medication Management Training, First Aid Trainer, PROACT SCIPr trainer.
A copy of our healthcare and therapies team’s clinical supervision policy is available on request.
Care and teaching staff are all trained to meet individual children’s healthcare needs by our healthcare and therapies team through a series of taught and experiential sessions. Where applicable, staff are assessed against nationally recognised competencies for the activity, for example in the management of medicines.
We provide mandatory training for staff in such areas as first aid, health and safety, safeguarding/child protection, manual handling and food handling.
7. Organisational structure See staffing structure on last page.
8. Client group We offer individually-tailored education, care, healthcare and therapies for children and young people of both sexes between the ages of birth to 19.
Risk assessments are completed to ensure that young people reaching the age of 18 do not present any concerns to the safety and welfare of younger children. We support children and young people who have learning difficulties and disabilities and are blind or partially sighted and. Other needs we cater for include: autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) physical disabilities communication difficulties additional sensory impairment (deafblindness) additional healthcare needs, such as epilepsy high health and medical needs, including long-term ventilation or life- threatening or life-limiting conditions additional behavioural difficulties.
9. Admissions criteria Children and young people will be considered for admission if: the placement will be of benefit to the child or young person he/she has complex needs and a visual impairment. However, there is no requirement for the child to be formally registered as blind or partially sighted; we are able to meet the educational, social, emotional, physical and healthcare needs of the young person; they are between the ages of birth and sixteen. This is because young people over the age of sixteen would normally be expected to consider residential provision for young adults if not already attending RNIB Pears Centre; the placement does not compromise the wellbeing of other children with regard both to education and care.
Our board of trustees allow us to accommodate an agreed number of children and young people who do not have a visual impairment as their primary need.
We can admit children and young people from any area of the UK or, in exceptional circumstances, from overseas. Day pupils usually come from within easy daily travelling distance of Coventry, where we are located. An offer will be made subject to an initial assessment indicating that we can effectively support an individual child. In the case of our service being full, we maintain a waiting list and a register of interest in placement at RNIB Pears Centre. Admission procedure An initial enquiry will be followed by visits from parents and key professionals. In the case of admission to our care provision, we have a comprehensive three-stage pre-placement assessment process. In addition to our own multi-disciplinary assessment team, this involves the child and his/her parents, as well as education, social care, therapy and healthcare professionals from the home area local authority.
In all cases, parents are advised to keep their home area local authority informed of their interest in RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning.
Children and young people entering our care provision can be admitted at any time during the year, according to the availability of places.
10. Care arrangements In our children’s home, all children and young people have a named key worker, either the team leader and/or deputy, who has responsibilities as defined in the Care Standards Act (2000). Children have Care Plans, which are co-ordinated where appropriate with Individual Education Plans. In 5 Pears Court, the Nurse Team Leader has key worker responsibility for all of the children and young people in that bungalow, supported by a team of registered nurses.
Where children and young people are subject to ‘Looked After Children’ (‘LAC’) Reviews, these plans are externally reviewed at six-monthly intervals by the Social Services department concerned. All other young people have their plans and progress reviewed on a six-monthly basis, with one review each year being internal, and the other external, as a part of the Annual Education Review process.
Children and young people are continuously assessed to ensure safe and harmonious cohabitation, and, in particular, to ensure the appropriateness of the provision which caters both for children and young adults aged 18 and over.
Our facilities are detailed in section 2 above and staffing in section 5.
11. Ethos and principles Children and young people’s individual rights and wishes lie at the heart of our ethos. We recognise the right of each young person to make and influence decisions concerning his or her day to day learning and care. The wishes of each young person, and their means of communicating these, are central to our thinking and decision making. We recognise and celebrate individual differences, strengths and areas of need.
We are committed to using the best person-centred approaches in working with children and young people and always meaningfully involve them, their families and carers in everything that affects them. Through this, we seek to minimise the effects of learning and living away from family homes and help young people with multiple disabilities and complex health needs who are blind or partially sighted to take their rightful place in society.
We seek to enable children rather than emphasise the disabling effects of their impairments. We provide an environment which values equally the contribution made to the wellbeing of the young people by all practitioners, whether from therapeutic, educational, care or healthcare backgrounds.
12. Healthcare We are committed to delivering high quality healthcare services to the children and young people in our care. All children who apply to come to RNIB Pears Centre are subject to a full health needs assessment which covers all aspects of their physical and mental health and wellbeing. This is in line with the Guidance on Promoting the Health and Wellbeing of Looked After Children 2010.
Children's individual needs are set out in healthcare and treatment plans, which detail how appropriate services are delivered, and by whom, these are subject to ongoing and formal annual review. Primary care is delivered through our local GP practice and these services are accessed as in any ordinary family home, by visiting the surgery or home visits where needed. We have an arrangement whereby the practice nurse offers support to care staff to deal with minor ailments and non-emergency issues, such as childhood immunisation, and general wellbeing. Through the GP practice we also access the services of a dietician when needed.
Secondary care is provided either by the originating NHS Trust for the young person, or by arrangement with Coventry health authority or their partnership Trusts. These arrangements will be assessed and agreed at the point of admission to RNIB Pears Centre and form part of the health care plan.
Dental care is delivered through a service level agreement with the Special Needs Dental Service of Coventry health authority, who provide a visiting dentist clinic and refer young people to the sedation service where treatment is required. Young people can of course retain their family dentist if they choose.
13. Education Many children and young people living at RNIB Pears Centre are also registered pupils of our on-site school. They all have Statements of Special Educational Need and have regular annual reviews according to the Education Act (1996), to which all key staff contribute in consultation, where possible, with children and young people themselves.
Staff working with children and young people at RNIB Pears Centre record significant events and information in the day-to-day lives of the young people. These records provide an important means of communication between education, healthcare and social care staff.
14. Leisure activities Children and young people are involved in planning their leisure time activities, and have a range of options available to suit their needs, individually and collectively, within cultural and age-appropriate parameters. The opportunities are comparable to those that they may experience in their own family settings. Examples include attending football matches, going to the cinema and theatre, attending pop concerts, going bowling, shopping, and dining and drinking at local restaurants and public houses.
Children and young people are also given the opportunity of an annual holiday if it is appropriate and safe for them to do so and are supported by staff who know them well. 15. Arrangements for those who are living with us to contribute to the way their home is run At a collective level, staff facilitate meetings at which children and young people can make their needs and wishes known, and, as far as they are able, influence the way services are provided.
At an individual level, it is the responsibility of key workers to ensure that wishes, needs and aspirations are understood and taken into account in daily living and learning. Our speech and language therapist plays a pivotal role in assisting staff to communicate with young people in whichever ways are appropriate.
Young people are involved in both LAC and Education reviews, at levels commensurate with their understanding and willingness to participate.
16. Control, restraint and discipline Policies pertaining to control, restraint and discipline are in place and set out in the overarching Care and Control Policy P3 which contains the ‘Sanctions policy’, ‘Behaviour Management Policy ’; "Physical Intervention" and "anti-bullying.
Individual bungalows keep their own control, restraint and sanction hardback record books.
To support some of our young people with their challenging behaviour we sometimes need to install a closed-circuit television (CCTV) within their bedrooms to ensure their safety. Before we introduce these methods it is always discussed with parents and placing authorities. Once agreed, a CCTV permissions form is completed and signed by all parties. This then becomes part of the young person’s behaviour/care plans, and has strict guidance for its use and purpose.
17. Arrangements for child protection and to counter bullying RNIB-wide policies are in place in relation to child protection and whistle blowing. Our child protection policies and procedures have been viewed and agreed by Warwickshire Safeguarding Children Board and meet their requirements. These include ‘Guidelines for staff: action on abuse’; ‘inappropriate treatment of young people’; ‘Definitions of abuse’; ‘Anti- bullying’. Our policies are continuously under review. We have an on-site group of five Safeguarding Officers with named representatives from care, education and healthcare. This team have all been NSPCC-trained, with particular emphasis on the specific needs of our client group. This team meets every three months. These meetings are also attended by a parent governor and a representative from the Warwickshire Safeguarding Children Board. We also work closely with the RNIB Corporate Safeguarding Manager. All staff and volunteers working at RNIB Pears Centre are expected to attend annual safeguarding training.
18. Unauthorised absences In the event of a child or young person being able to leave RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning without authorisation, the procedures for missing children would be applied. When this is a possibility, the young person’s care plan will clearly state the precautions that need to be taken. See Policy P7.
On leaving RNIB Pears Centre for a period at home or elsewhere, procedures are in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the young people concerned – see policy P7.
In the event of a child or young person not returning to RNIB Pears Centre following a period at home, the process as set out in P7 will be followed.
19. Fire precautions and associated emergency procedures Our buildings are designed to meet Warwickshire’s Fire Service requirements and recommendations, including 30-minute fire doors throughout, and holding areas for wheelchair users pending the arrival of the Fire Service. Fire-fighting equipment is in place and serviced as required by the HSE.
Our Emergency Fire Procedures are contained within the overarching Health and Safety Policy P6 and specifically for the home in CH1 and evacuation procedures are displayed throughout the children's home and the school.
Fire alarms are tested at a given time each week and a full fire practice is held at least four times a year, at differing times of the day or night. These tests and practices are recorded and monitored. Warwickshire Fire Service attends fire practices as they deem necessary.
Our buildings have also been the subject of a Fire Risk Assessment by an external agency.
20. Religious instruction and observance Children and young people are supported and enabled to attend, observe and participate in religious activities according to their own choosing or parental wish. This may involve staff accompanying them to different places of worship.
Children and young people are welcome to keep religious artefacts in their rooms and to observe and practice any rituals or behaviours required by their religion. RNIB’s corporate policy recognises the diverse requirements of different religious, cultural and ethnic groups.
21. Contact with parents, relatives and friends Children and young people are supported primarily by their key workers to keep in touch with their families and significant others by telephone, email and letter. Such contacts are recorded as part of the individual young person’s records. Parents are encouraged to make contact regularly. Our telephone system within the bungalows uses cordless handsets so that children and young people can talk to family and friends in the privacy of their own bedrooms.
A record of family birthdays and other significant dates is maintained so that young people can send greetings at appropriate times.
22. Complaints procedures RNIB has a corporate complaints procedure. For children and young people attending RNIB Pears Centre there is a complaints procedure which is set out in ‘Young Person’s and their Families Guide to RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning. 23. Arrangements for dealing with reviews of placement plans Placement plans are formally reviewed through the Looked After Children and annual education reviews, and more frequently according to need.
We keep a wide range of records for children and young people (paper and electronic). This includes care plans, healthcare plans, risk assessments, activity recordings etc. These records are all confidential and are only viewed by staff and other professionals (such as social workers and representatives from the funding authority) on a need to know basis.
All of the full-time care staff working within the bungalow a child lives in will have access to all of this information. Our sessional and agency staff have limited access.
It is our usual practice for care plans to be shared with parents so that they can be continued to be followed up whenever possible, for example when a child visits home. If at any time parents wish to see any records we hold for their son or daughter they need to ask the designated person on duty.
When a young person leaves RNIB Pears Centre, their records are archived and sent to RNIB Peterborough where they are stored in a confidential setting for a minimum of 75 years.
24. Type of accommodation Accommodation is provided in the form of self-contained bungalows, with six single bedrooms and an en-suite bathroom shared between two bedrooms. Each bungalow has mixed age range, but we are mindful of the need to balance the social, emotional and physical needs of children with those of young adults.
Every child’s bedroom is personalised with his/her own belongings and decor. Children and young people are encouraged and helped to decorate their rooms with personal items, posters and pictures and items relating to family and friends.
Each bungalow has a kitchen, dining area, two lounges and access to enclosed garden and patio areas. Bathrooms are well equipped and overhead tracking for hoists is provided in all areas used by the young people. All the bungalows are accessible for individuals who are wheelchair users or who have restricted mobility.
25. Therapeutic techniques We do not have a policy of using specific therapeutic techniques. However, recognised therapeutic techniques are used with individual children and young people. In such cases, these techniques are agreed with placing authorities, specified within individual care and education plans, and delivered under the supervision of a suitably qualified and experienced practitioner.
26. Anti-discriminatory practice We respect the rights of children and young people as set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Children Act (1989). We endeavour to provide an environment which nurtures physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing, and is safe, whilst encouraging young people to take personal responsibility for their actions. Children and young people are helped to respect each other’s views and beliefs, and to live together harmoniously, recognising and valuing each other’s differences.
