Parent Partnership
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 borough of Cheshire West and Chester. 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 will be available soon.
- We have information about voluntary groups and parents' support groups who may be able to help you. For example Every Disabled Child Matters Website.
- 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.
