“SENDIASS gave me advice on what I can do as well as what else I can access for peer support. I am happy with the advice I was given as well as the experience I received from members of the team”

“The whole process was completely new to us, but your advice meant we could ask the right questions and make sure we got what our child needed into the plan. It often felt like we were asking for a lot at short notice, but we really appreciated support from SENDIASS”

“Really just happy with the service they have picked up the phone every time I have called without a fail”

“SENDIASS have been supporting for some time now and I don’t know what I would have done without their support. My child is finally going to school, and it couldn’t have been done without their commitment to my family”

“They were lovely. They really explained well what my next steps were. And even went as far as what can be done in the future. My English is not very good, they were so patient with me”

“Usually if I call another service they don’t pick up. But it was nice to be able to call and for someone to pick up. I will definitely be contacting the service again when it’s time for me the reapply for the EHC plan”

“I even received call back a few weeks later to check in to see if all was plain sailing. I really loved that. Having to do this alone can be daunting at times”

“Mediation didn’t go as planned. But I had SENDIASS with me, as I really appreciated someone being there. It was like having someone on my side”

“Its really helpful knowing there’s an organisation out there for parents like us”
