    Brief

    Local authorities are legally required under the Children and Families Act 2014 to provide an impartial Information, Advice and Support (IAS) service for disabled children and young people, and those with special educational needs, along with their parents and carers. This service empowers service users to advocate for themselves and their families, helping them engage confidently in decisions about education, health, and social care provision. The service promotes independence and self-determination, enabling families to navigate the complex landscape of special educational needs and disability support services effectively.
