Parent Partnership Service
This service can support you if you have a child under 3, who has been newly identified with a disability or who is undergoing assessment to identify a disability and can offer you: emotional support; someone to talk to and listen to your concerns; provide a link in the early years following diagnosis of a child's disability, or as they go through the process of assessment to identify a disability. The service can provide practical support to help you by supporting on initial visits to local community facilities/groups, liasing with services on your behalf, or accompanying you to meetings with professionals in order to raise awareness to your child's needs.
The Southampton Parent Partnership Service offers a free and independent service to parents or carers of children and young people aged 0-19 living in Southampton whose children have special education needs. The main aim of the service is to empower parents to make informed choices about their children’s education.
If you are interested in accessing the service or for more information telephone the helpdesk on 023 8055 7607.
