WIASS Annual Report 2025-26
2025/26 proved to be our busiest year ever. The number of families seeking our impartial advice and support increased again with us seeing the largest increase in requests from young people.
In addition to offering individual advice and supporting families in meetings, the team delivered training sessions, attended community events, coffee mornings, held a weekly SEND Surgery and ensured the voice of families we work with was heard across the local area partnership.
We expect another busy year as we start to prepare for the SEND reforms, working closely with partners and ensuring families are kept informed.
