What does the SENDIAS Service do?
At West Sussex SENDIAS, we provide impartial information, advice and support to children and young people who have SEND (special educational needs and/ or disabilities) for those aged 0-25 and their parent carers. Every SENDIAS follows the national minimum standards for this type of service.
The video to the right is produced by the ‘Council for Disabled Children’ and gives more information on what to expect from a SENDIAS service.
What do we mean by ‘impartial’?, ‘Confidential’? or being ‘at arms length from the LA’?
We can help children and young people (CYP) think through their views, wishes and aspirations
The SENDIAS Steering Group ensures we meet the national minimum standards for a SENDIAS
