The changes now in place from the new Children & Families Act mean that IASS continue to support parents of children up to the age of 16. However, after compulsory school age, up to the age of 25, any young person with a special education need should now be directly involved in decision making themselves, either with or without their parent’s/carer’s involvement.
There may be many issues which concern you – for example, admission to school or college, support received, lack of progress, transport problems or risk of school exclusion.
Or you may be confused by titles and terms you’ve never heard of and the complexity of the procedures involved.
