About us

West Northants SEND Information, Advice and Support Service is a statutory service which operates at ‘arm’s length’ from West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) and the Intergrated Care Board (ICB) provides free, confidential, impartial advice, and support to children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and their parents/carers.

We offer advice to professionals who support children and young people with SEND and their families. 

SEND IASS empowers parents and carers to play an active and informed role in their child’s education, whilst promoting good working relationships between children, young people, parents, education settings and the Local Authority (LA).

The team provides a range of flexible services which include training, referrals to statutory and voluntary agencies, access to local and national support groups, telephone support and face to face meetings, when required.
