Special Educational Needs and Disability Information Advice and Support Service: SEND IAS
Lancashire SEND IAS provides information, advice and support on special educational needs and disability (SEND). It’s a statutory service, which means it must be provided by law.
Our service will:
- Support parents/carers of children who have or may have special educational needs.
- Support children and young people who have or may have special educational needs.
- Recognise the importance of parents, carers, young people and children's views.
- Help the Local Authority and parent/carers and schools work together to meet the needs of children and young people.
- Offer free impartial advice.
We work with Lancashire children and young people aged up to 25, who have or may have SEND and their parents or carers.
