We are an educational service for parents/carers and schools. We particularly support parents/carers (and those with a legal responsibility) of children with Special Educational Needs.

The CPPS gives neutral and impartial advice and information on all aspects of Special Educational Needs.

You have a vital role in supporting your child's education.

•	We can help you become fully informed and included in the educational process:
•	We can make you aware of the educational options available.
•	We can help you communicate your views successfully.
•	We can assist you in making informed educational decisions regarding your child.

As a service we aim to provide advice that is:

•	Independent
•	Impartial
•	Confidential

Croydon Parent Partnership Service aims to promote effective partnerships between parents/carers of children with Special Educational needs, Schools and the LEA. By empowering parents/carers, we enable them to play an active role in their child's educational progress. We aim to support parents by providing accurate and neutral information and advice regarding all Special Needs procedures. We can also 'sign post' parents to other sources of help. Volunteers, who are trained by the Service, known as Independent Parental Supports (IPS), can also support parents.

Our primary role is to ensure parent/carers that those with legal responsibility for a child with Special Educational Needs are fully informed and included in the education process.
