SENDIASS (Special Educational Needs and Disability Information Advice and Support Service)

The Council is under a statutory duty to arrange for advice for children and parents in respect of special educational needs and disabilities. The duty is contained in section 32 of the Children and Families Act 2014 and is supplemented by the SEND Code of Practice. The Code sets out the requirements for such advice in more detail; this includes how this advice and information is communicated to children, young people and families, schools and post 16 institutions.
