We have events currently planned, however dates will be coming soon, previous events we have run include:
Advice Surgery
Getting ready for the new school year! Join SIASS caseworkers in a private room at the Cognus Office to ask questions and talk through your concerns about the upcoming school year.
Feel free to bring your child or young person along to share their views. SIASS staff are all parents of young people with SEN, and we’d love to chat with your kids if they feel up to visiting (or have them colour or play in the room while we chat)!
Mediation & Appeals Workshop
SIASS is here to help you understand and exercise your legal rights, this includes the right to mediation and to appeal to the SEND Tribunal when you disagree with a decision that’s been made by the Local Authority.
Join us for a SEND Tribunal masterclass for parent/carers.
Topics to be covered include:
- When do you have the legal right to appeal?
- What’s Mediation & what can you expect?
- What are the different types of appeals and what do you need to prove in each kind of case?
- How to write up your grounds of appeal?
- What evidence you should gather?
- How long does this process take?
- What should happen after a Tribunal decision is made?
