Is your child finding it difficult to cope at nursery or at school?

The Parent Partnership Service exists to give confidential, impartial help and support to parents and carers who have a child aged 0-19 who need extra help with pre-school or school education. This might be because the child or young person:

• Is disabled
• Has a learning difficulty
• Has a social, emotional or behavioural difficulty
• Finds it more difficult to learn than other children the same age 

The Parent Partnership Service can help by...

• Giving information about the education system and special educational needs provision
• Listening to your views, worries and concerns
• Helping you to get things clear in your own mind and to get your voice and opinion heard
• Putting you in touch with other sources of help and information so that you can make informed choices
• Helping you to sort out the paperwork, going to meetings with you and providing support to write letters
• Providing the name of a trained volunteer for ongoing support

Once we have taken your details, a Parent Partnership Officer or a trained Volunteer will contact you to discuss how you would like to take things forward.

Your queries can be discussed over the telephone, in a meeting at your home, the school or another place to suit you such as in our office or a cafe.

The Parent Partnership Service is housed at Voluntary Action LeicesterShire and funded by Leicester City Council.
