AN education charity has been chosen by Lewisham Council to run its parent information scheme.
ContinYou’s Lewisham Independent Parent Partnership Service, based in Bellingham, is available throughout the borough to those who have a child aged under 19 with special educational needs.
It offers free independent advice, information and support to parents and carers to help them make decisions about their child’s education.
Manager Jennifer Becon said: “Whether you need us to guide you through the statutory assessment process, support you at a meeting with a school or local authority, or simply offer some advice and guidance, please get in touch.
“We already have good links with parents and carers, schools and other organisations across Lewisham, and look forward to building on these links in the future.”
A launch event will be held in the spring. For more, visit continyou.org.uk
