SENDIASS update
From 1 July 2023, Warwickshire SENDIASS (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information, Advice, and Support Service) will be provided by Barnado's.
SENDIASS is a vital service that empowers parents, carers, and young people by providing essential information, impartial advice, and expert guidance regarding the legal aspects of SEND support. The service plays a pivotal role in ensuring that parent carers and young people are empowered and fully understand their rights and responsibilities in relation to the Code of Practice, thus enabling them to make informed decisions and actively participate in their SEND journey.
With a shared commitment to providing exceptional support to families and promoting the well-being of children and young people, Barnardo’s is well-positioned to seamlessly continue the essential work of SENDIASS, building on the strong foundation laid by KIDS, the previous provider.
Details of the new service offer are on the website www.warwickshiresendiass.co.uk.
Please note the website is still in development, and will be updated soon with more information and materials.
The previous provider, KIDS, has contacted all the people they have been working with and has arranged to transfer support to Barnado’s where appropriate.
