Parent Partnership Service
The Sheffield Parent Partnership Service provides impartial information, advice and support to the parents and carers of children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Parent Partnership can offer advice over the telephone or in person.
You might want to contact Parent Partnership Service if:
- School has told you that they think your child needs some extra help in school
- School has suggested that your child should see an Educational Psychologist or a doctor or a nurse or some other professional
- Someone has suggested that your child needs a statement of special needs
- You are concerned that your child is not getting enough support in school
- Your child is undergoing assessment
- You don’t understand the terms being used to describe your child
- You don’t understand the letters and documents that you have received about your child
- You are unhappy with or are having problems with school or Sheffield Children and Young People's Service (CYPS)
- You feel that no-one is listening to or understanding you
