Early Mediation can make all the difference

Norfolk Parent Partnership support parents and carers of children with special educational needs. We will offer confidential telephone support and information. Much of the work we do is informal mediation through our phone line and volunteers.

If a parent, school or the Local Authority is unable to reach agreement about a child’s special educational needs a more formal mediation can be used, so that an independent person can become involved to help find a way forward together.

Mediation is often used when parents appeal to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal and by this time relationships have often become very difficult.

Using a mediator earlier can mean that everybody understands each other better and the situation becomes far less stressful.
