Welcome to the Parent Partnership Service
The Parent Partnership Service aim to offer impartial information and support for parents and carers of children with Special Educational Needs.
We are a confidential service and we can:
- Listen to parents concerns and queries.
- Offer contact with other sources of help and information
- Give help in getting your views and the views of your child known, understood and valued.
- Assist with preparation for meetings (such as Annual Reviews) and possibly go with you to meetings.
- Help with paperwork and help you to write reports or letters.
- Help you to look at all the options.
- Look at ways of overcoming difference.
- We publish a newsletter.
- We offer training for parents and professionals.
Parent Partnership is available to all parents in Waltham Forest whose children have special educational needs. We aim to promote partnership between parents, the Local Authority (LA), schools, pre-schools, nurseries and other agencies. Parents know their child better than anyone and have a key role to play in their childs education.
Getting in touch
Parents can contact the service themselves or professionals can suggest this to any parent with whom they have contact.
You can telephone, write or drop in, but make sure you telephone before you visit to make sure someone is in the office.
There is an answer phone so if we are out please leave a message. We do want to help you and we will call you back.
