Newcastle Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information, Advice and Support Service

This is a free, impartial and confidential service.

We provide information, advice and support to

• parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities
• children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities up to the age of 25 years

We specialise in education matters but can support with social care and health issues that impact on the child or young person’s ability to access education.

Typically, parents can have their concerns listened to, Special Educational Needs policies and procedures explained to them and be offered practical support to help them in their discussions with schools, the Local Authority and other statutory agencies.
