Service Level Agreements
If you have the responsibility of commissioning support for children with communication disabilities, take a look at our cost-effective Service Level Agreement (SLA) package. An SLA provides cost-effective expert assessment, consultancy and training, plus access to our extensive equipment loan library.
Why choose a Service Level Agreement?
In a word, value. A single annual fee buys your authority units that you can use flexibly in your own combination of our assessment, training and loan services. Compared to buying in our services individually, an SLA offers you excellent value for money.

Features and benefits
Access to expertise
Your authority will have access to a team with over 25 years of experience in delivering independent assessment services for young people with disabilities at all levels of complexity.
Free equipment loan services
Cut out unnecessary equipment costs. Our SLAs give your authority access to thousands of pounds’ worth of communication aid equipment in our loan library, enabling you to ‘try before you buy’.
Upskill your staff
We’ll train your clinical teams to take on more complex cases without the need for external support.
Single annual fee covers all
Reduce your commissioning and administration workload. Assessment, training and loan services are all covered under one agreement.
Eliminate wasted resourcing
You decide on how and when to use our services. Use our unit-based approach flexibly in your own combination of assessment, training and loan services.

You benefit from the multidisciplinary nature of our teams of therapists, teachers and technologists. They will work together with your staff to enable the best and most informed outcomes for your young people.
Discounts on top-up units and additional services
Save money on any additional units you may need for assessments, training courses and consultancy. Discounts for ACE Centre products too.
Free networking days
Enable your key staff to gain and share knowledge about issues and developments in the field of aided communication.
