Overview

If you are unhappy about any decisions that have been made about your child's SEN, you should first contact the service or school / setting.

In most cases we can work together to resolve any issues to make sure that your child's needs are met.

If you need support with discussing any issues, you can contact SENDIASS.

SENDIASS will:

  • support you to express concerns or issues
  • offer advice and signposting
  • contact school directly with schools at your request
  • support you through all processes around resolving disagreements or complaints.
