SENDIASS

We offer our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS) in Stockport and Tameside.

We provide support and advice for young people (under 25) with special educational needs and disabilities, as well as for their parents or carers.

Support for families

We will listen to your concerns, gather information about your situation and determine what level of support we can provide.

Our primary aim is to empower you with the information, advice and support you need to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Support for young people

Are you under 25 years old living in the Stockport area? Do you need extra help with learning or do you have a disability? SENDIASS may be able to help you.

Our service can help you understand what support you should be getting and tell you how you can ask for more support with learning in school or college. Get in touch:

How we will support you

We will usually contact you within 24 hours but please allow up to 3 working days during busy periods. Support from our service can take place via the telephone, video call, email and support at some meetings.

Requests for attendance at meetings, mediations and tribunals must be received at least two weeks prior to the meeting date.

Meeting attendance from SENDIASS is subject to our availability and may be reduced in busy periods. 

Please read our resource ‘Attendance & support at meetings, mediation & tribunals’ for further information.
