SENDIASS are the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information, Advice and Support Service for children and young people with SEND and their parents or carers.
This short animation video will help children and young people with SEND, and their parents, learn about the service and support on offer from their local SEND Information Advice and Support Service (IASS).
It also talks about how a local SEND IASS team can be contacted - including how to access the National Helpline provided by Contact.
Your local SEND Information, Advice and Support Service has to work in a certain way to make sure they are meeting the minimum standards.
This short video tells you what that certain way is, and some of the things services have to do. This is so you understand more about your SEND IASS service.
We are a free service available to Thurrock residents who need help advice and guidance relating to Special Educational Needs.
We work with the Local Education Authority and Schools to improve outcomes for learners.
We have a wide range of information available to help clients make the best choices.
Attendance at community hubs and support at meetings in a range of settings (including but not limited to nurseries, schools, colleges), is determined by the needs and circumstances of the parent, carer, child or young person and by the capacity of service.
Home visits will only be offered in exceptional circumstances, for instance, if the parent or carer has a physical disability which prevents them from leaving their home and it would be unsafe for them to do so, and there will be another service such as Social Care or SEND team attending the agreed meeting.
The purpose of this is not to be obstructive or make life more difficult for families, but to improve the efficiency of the SENDIAS Service and reduce the potential risks associated with lone-working.
PATT provide free, confidential and impartial advice and support to young people, and parents/carers of children, with special educational needs.
