Durham SEND Information Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS) drop-in sessions
Durham SEND Information Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS) is a statutory service supporting parents/carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and children and young people with SEND.
They provide confidential, impartial support and advice for parents, carers, children and young people up to the age of 25 years in relation to special educational needs and disability. SENDIASS operates at 'arm's length' from the council.
SENDIASS run drop in session at the Family Hubs. These are for parents and carers who are not currently open to or being supported by SENDIASS. If you already have an allocated SENDIASS caseworker, please contact them directly if you need any further advice.
If you have questions about your child's educational needs or provision you can pop into one of the monthly drop-in sessions in our Family Hubs.
We do not have strict appointment slots but anticipate that conversations will take around 20 minutes. If SENDIASS feel that more support if needed they will take your details to allocate a caseworker.
You don't need to go to the Family Hub closest to where you live, or nearest your child's school, you can go to whichever session suits you and your family best.
