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 informaton 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
Supporters (IPS), can also support parents.
The
role of the Parent Partnership Service is to ensure parents
are fully informed and included in the educational process and
given information on the options available to enable them to
make informed decisions.
