WIRRAL PARENT PARTNERSHIP

Training

On going training is available for Independent Parental Supporters.

An Independent Parental supporter can:

• Listen to concerns about a child's education.
• Support parents at meetings concerning a child's special educational needs
• Provide information and guidance on where to get further information
• Explain the assessment process
• Talk through options available
• Sort out paperwork with parents

An Independent Parental Supporter does not:

• Make parent's decisions
• Impose their personal views
• Attend meetings in the absence of the parent
• Help with every family problem
• Write reports in the absence of the parent

We have organised a number of informal training/information sessions which we hope will be of interest. Places are limited to 15 for each session and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. All sessions are held at the Parent Partnership Office from 10am-12 noon.

 Wirral Parent Partnership hope to be running 'Independent  Parental Supporter' training - Watch this space!
