Parent Partnership Services (PPS) are designed to ensure that parents and carers of children with special educational needs (SEN) have access to information, advice and guidance on SEN matters to allow them to make informed decisions about their child’s education. PPS can also help prevent difficulties from developing into disagreements. They are either run at arm’s length from the Local Authority (LA), or partly or wholly provided by another provider. The SEN and Disability Act 2001 made PPS statutory, with LA’s having a duty to ensure that any parent within their authority is given advice and information about their child’s SEN.

 

The Parent Partnership Service is a confidential and impartial service that supports families who have children with Special Educational Needs. We support families of children and young people aged 0 to 19 years with any educational issues. They do not need to have a statement of special educational need or a medical diagnosis of disability.

We may help in a number of ways, including:

We also offer support groups and an outreach service in various locations around the county.

 

If you are a parent or carer who has concerns about their child’s education and feel you would benefit from our service or would like information about the support groups or workshops in your area please contact us on 0116 2752097 or email at parent-partnership-service@leics.gov.uk.

 

Leicestershire PPS also offers support to all parents and carers of children transferring from Primary to Secondary or Upper school. The children DO NOT need to have SEN. The Choice Advice Service specialises in giving parents and carers advice, support, help and information relating to children starting secondary or upper school. Transferring to secondary or upper school can be one of the most difficult and stressful times for you and your family. If you would like help filling in the necessary forms or advice and information about the transfer process please contact us on 0116 2752097 or email at parent-partnership-service@leics.gov.uk.
