Hackney Parent Partnership Service offers information and support to parents/carers and their children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). The free service is open to Hackney parents. Interpreters can be arranged if needed.

We promote partnership with parents and carers giving a "powerful say" to Hackney parents, carers and young people with special educational needs. We help parents and carers use their own knowledge and skills, contributing to their understanding of how best to help their child, through training and information sessions. For 2008/2009 academic year we have put together a series of information sessions for parents/carers in Hackney.
