Does your child have special educational needs, or do you think he or she might have?

We can help you if you:

• are worried that your child is falling behind at school
• think something is wrong, but you’re not sure what
• think your child needs more help than they are getting now
• would like help to talk to the school
• have been told that your child needs a ‘statutory assessment’ or ‘statement’
• disagree with your child’s statement
• are worried about choosing the right nursery, school or college
• want to find out where to go for other help and support

What will we do?

• Listen to your concerns for your child
• Explain the duties of the school and The Learning Trust towards you and your child
• Discuss your responsibilities as a parent / carer
• Encourage you to express your views
• Offer an ‘independent parent supporter’
• Offer help with letter writing and school meetings
