This website contains a set of Partnership with Parents Information Sheets for parents. Our information is regularly updated and the contents in the different sheets may alter to reflect changes in legislation or practice.

Also on this page are two booklets in pdf format with information about young children with SEN and the identification and assessment processes.  Please click on the links at the foot of this page.

If your child has been excluded from school, either permanently or for a fixed term, you will find links below to information provided for parents by IPSEA and ACE.

We have also provided a link to the East Together Regional Partnership Advice Notes which provide guidance on a number of issues such as Children out of Chronological Year Group, the LEA's responsibility for children with SEN, the legality of part-time timetables, etc. 

Please feel free to print these sheets as required. If you would like us to sent you hard copies, please contact us on 01737 737300 or by clicking on Contact Us. A separate pack is also available regarding exclusions.

Several of our information sheets are available in Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Italian, Spanish and Urdu.  Please contact us to request any of these.
