The Isle of Wight Parent Partnership

The Isle of Wight Parent Partnership service offers an impartial information, support and advice service for parents/carers of children with special educational needs.

Many children, at some time in their school career, will have special educational needs of some kind, and parents have a very important part to play in helping their child to make the most of school.

Parent Partnerships can give you information about:

Assessment Procedures
Statements
School Reviews and Meetings
Parents’ rights and how the education system works
Information about particular Special Educational Needs
Transition Plans
SEN Tribunal procedures
School Exclusions

We can discuss your concerns and answer your queries:

Over the telephone
By letter
By pre-arranged appointments
We can also liaise with other agencies and schools on your behalf

We can link you with:

Parent Support Groups, Voluntary Organisations,
Other parents who have had similar experiences
Clubs and activities for children with special needs

Parent Partnership produces a regular Newsletter providing information on issues and events locally and nationally which is distributed to parents/carers of children with special educational needs, schools, support services, and voluntary groups.
