An opportunity for parent/carers to access support for their child, either currently or previously impacted by school exclusion.

The SEND Information Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS) in South Tyneside is running a School Exclusion Support Hub as part of School Exclusions Week.

The group provides an opportunity for parents/carers to share information and discuss with each other about their own experiences, while also finding out more about how the service may be able to support, or provide signposting to organisations within the local area.

There is no need to book, and you are welocme to drop-in at any time:

Ridgeway Family Hub, 10-noon

We'll also be joined by our Wellbeing Parter for this session: Caroline from Underneath App, who will be on-hand to provide information about what the app offers and how it can support children and young people in South Tyneside.

If you're not in the mood to talk, you can:

Visiting our 'Myth Busting Board'

Help yourself to resources to take away with you from the 'Know Your Rights Mini-Station'

Leave a message for education and/or local authority leaders

Pop a message in the 'Ask SENDIASS' question box

The session can be accessed by parents and carers whose child may currently be or have previously been impacted by school exclusion. This could include fixed-term or permanent exclusions, as well as informal exclusions, such as being sent home to 'cool off' and those children facing other barriers in accessing their education.

Parents/carers are not required to be 'open' to the service to be able to access the session.

If you have any questions, you can contact us via SENDIASS@southtyneside.gov.uk.
