Help continue to improve the Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities Information, Advice and Support Service (SENDIAS)
People’s views are being sought to continue to shape a service for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and their parents and carers.
The West Sussex SEND Information, Advice and Support Service (SENDIAS) is calling on families and professionals to help it decide what else may be needed from the service. The comments will help SENDIAS produce its next two-year service plan. SENDIAS staff provide impartial and confidential information, advice and support to parent carers and young people with SEND, to help them understand and access the provision available to them.
The online survey is now live until 13 January 2019 and can be found here

The clubs have helped to develop students’ awareness of how a career in the NHS supports people. They have provided students with an insight in to the key issues that affect the health and social care needs of our population, and how working in the NHS can benefit local communities and help people maintain good health and wellbeing.
