Parent Partnership
The Parent
Partnership Service (opens in new window) offers
free, confidential information and support to parents/carers of
children who have, or may have, special educational needs. We help
parents/carers take an active and informed part in their child's
education.
We offer a wide range of services including:
- A telephone help line
- A range of leaflets on different aspects of
special educational need
- Contact details of voluntary organisations and
support groups
- Help with filling in forms and writing
letters
- Help with reading through and understanding
reports
- Support for parents/carers in meetings with
schools and the Local Authority
Each month we have information sessions for
parents/carers of children undergoing a statutory assessment of
special educational needs. Parents are invited to meet a Parent
Partnership Officer and an Officer from the Assessment and
Monitoring team. Meetings are held in Bedford, Biggleswade and
Dunstable. Attendance at these meetings is by invitation only.
Separate appointments or home visits can also be
offered.
Further information about the services is available on
the Parent
Partnership website. (opens in new window)
