Information Advice and Support Service (IASS)
The Information Advice and Support Service offers independent advice, information and guidance on issues relating to Special Educational Needs & Disability. The service is for parents of disabled children and young people (0-25 years) with Special Educational Needs and informs them about their rights and the rights of their child under Education Law, as well as local policies and practice in the areas of Education, Health and Social Care.
The following video explains how the service works and how it may be of help to you.
Thanks again for your help all over again. You are truly amazing. I really don’t think I could do this without you

I have worked with Sam for a number of years (and 2 potential Tribunals), regarding my daughter, and her very real and very difficult issues with her schooling and her various school placements. It doesn’t matter how many times I call Sam or how many times I email, she always responds within 24 hours and calmly and patiently explains processes and next steps.
