The Government has announced the launch of the Special Education Needs National Advice Service which offers advice and information to parents in England who have a child with SEN or disabilities.
The Service provides advice on all aspects of education, including Early Years, individual education plans, annual reviews, tribunals and appeals, and School Action and School Action Plus. It is also designed to help families with issues such as transition planning and post-16 education as well as with general issues, including bullying, exclusion, medical needs in school and transport to school.
The contract to run the Service has been awarded by the Department for Education to Contact a Family, and it will form part of the charity’s integrated helpline. There is also an online service for more general advice and guidance utilising email and social media and the organisation’s website.
News of the Service has been welcomed by Brian Lamb, whose Inquiry Into Parental Confidence recommended setting up a national network for SEN advice. “We found that parents needed help and support to navigate the complex SEN system and this will make a real difference to parents ensuring their children have the right support”, he said.
