The Parent Partnership Service helps parents and carers whose
children have special educational needs, from pre-school age until
they leave school.
We support parents across the county of Cheshire. If you or your
child's teacher think there may be a special educational need, we
may be able to help.
Many children have difficulties learning at some stage of their
school life and parents need information to help them make
decisions about their child's education. We can explain how the
education system works and how pre-schools, schools and local
authorities aim to meet special educational needs.
How Could the Parent Partnership Service Help Me?
We offer a confidential service to give you impartial
advice and information. Our staff and trained volunteers act as
Independent Parental Supporters or
"IPS".- We run sessions for groups of parents about special needs
education in Cheshire. More details on events page.
- We have information about voluntary groups and parents' support
groups who may be able to help you. Please see the other useful
organisations page for their contact details.
- Every school term we print a newsletter telling you about items
you could find useful. Please check the Newsletter page for our latest news and to
print the current newsletter for yourself.
- We also work with schools. We offer training and advice on
working in partnership with parents.
- A new addition to the Parent Partnership Service is the role of
the Choice Adviser. Please see Choice Advice
and the Choice Adviser Role for more information.
