Parent Partnership Service
We provide information and support to parents of children with
Special Educational Needs (SEN) and disabilities.
If you have a child aged from birth to 19 years with SEN and
they need extra help to learn, then we can give you impartial and
confidential support.
What support do we offer?
We can offer support in a number of ways:
- Sending out information leaflets
- Giving information over the telephone
- Inviting parents to our offices for one to one meetings to
discuss issues or concerns
- Support parents with filling out forms and writing letters
- Support parents with visiting schools
- Support parents attending meeting in schools or with other
professionals
- Support parents with paperwork including individual education
plans and statements of SEN
We offer full and accurate information on parents' rights, roles
and responsibilities within the SEN process. We can explain how
support for SEN is organised and help you through the various
systems from exclusions and school appeals, through to statutory
assessment of your child's needs.
We can give you information about the different provision and
options available to you so that you make an informed decision as
to what you want for your child's education. We do not make
decisions for parents - we are there to help you to make your
own decisions.
We have links with parents' groups and other voluntary
organisations as well as other services so we can direct you
towards other sources of help and support.
