Swindon Parent Partnership Service offers parents and carers independent information and support about their child's special educational needs (SEN) by:

• Explaining the assessment process
• Helping you to prepare for meetings
• Supporting you at meetings
• Helping you with all the paperwork
• Looking at all the options
• Being a listening ear

The support is provided by either the parent partnership co-ordinator, case worker or trained registered volunteers called Independant Parent Supporters (IPS).

We can give you information about:

• The assessment process
• Code of practice
• Parents' rights
• The annual review
• Appeals or tribunal procedures
• Transition plans
• Any SEN questions you want answers to

We can do this:

• Over the phone
• By letter
• By arranging a home visit
• At the Partnership office

All enquiries are completely confidential.
