Edition 17 - Thursday 1 October 2020
Spotlight on... Consultations for SENDIASSThe Local Authority must provide a SENDIASS (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information, Advice and Support Service) for parents/carers and children and young people with special educational needs or/and disabilities up to the age of 25. The service offers:
· free, confidential, impartial information, advice and support covering SEND issues including health & social care
East Riding of Yorkshire currently commissions East Riding SENDIAS service to provide information, advice and support for parents/carers and children up the age of 16 and KIDS to provide the service for children and young people up the age of 25.
The contracts for both services will come to an end on 31 August 2021.
To prepare for the contracts ending the Local Authority needs to plan for what the service will look like from 1 September 2021.
In order to assist us with designing the SENDIAS service from 1 September 2021, we would like to gain your opinion regarding the SENDIASS service post September 2021. We are keen to gain the views of potential service users as well as current and previous service users therefore you do not have to have used the service previously to be able to contribute your feedback to this consultation. It is really important to us that as many voices contribute as possible, the SENDIAS service is designed for service users and therefore, it must meet the needs of the East Riding of Yorkshire population.
The link below takes to you to a survey which has been designed with a variety of people including parents/carers and young people who have accessed the SENDIAS services.
https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/SENDIS_Consultation/The consultation lasts from Thursday 13 August until Thursday 22 October 2020.Contact: Children’s Commissioning Team
