Contact us

SENDIASS is a self-referral service for families and we require the parent/carer and child or young person to contact our service directly.

Due to capacity and the increasing number of referrals we are receiving, SEND IASS can offer you information, advice and support that will empower and enable you to move forward independently. The level of support we offer will be determined on a case by case  basis, with a view to supporting as many families as possible. 

SENDIASS is unable to provide support where a parent or carer is already receiving support from other independent advice, advocacy, or legal service. This is to avoid duplication of support and to ensure that services are able to use their resources effectively.

By avoiding more than one service supporting the same matter, we can maximise the support available and help as many parents and carers as possible. We appreciate your understanding.

Recently Essex SEND IASS has noticed that more parents/carers are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for SEND information and advice, or to help with creating documents relating to their child’s SEND. Please read our information on Guidance on using AI in relation to your child's SEND
