SEND Information, Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS)

A one stop shop for parents, carers and young people with SEND offering independent advice, information and support on SEND provision and processes. This includes providing an Independent Supporter, if you would like one.

Service users at SENDIASS have made a YouTube video explaining what the service offers and how they can help you:
