About SENDIASS
The Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information Advice and Support Services (SENDIASS) offer information, advice and support for parents and carers of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This service is also offered directly to young people.
Under the Children & Families Act (2014) it is a legal requirement that all Local Authorities have a SEND IAS Service and KIDS provide a number of these services across the country.
Each KIDS SEND IAS Service has a local page with their contact details, local information and local resources.
The service is free, impartial and confidential.
KIDS SENDIASS have developed resources providing information and advice for parents, carers, professionals and young people.
KIDS SENDIASS also have a dedicated YouTube channel that provides free information and training webinars as well as region-specific content where KIDS host a SEND IAS Service.
