Kirklees KIAS
The current situation with regards to SENDIASS / KIAS service in light of the Governments advice around Covid-19:
The service is committed in providing you with high quality information, advice and support with special educational needs or disability enquiries on 07771 977384. You can also use this number for sending any texts and to leave a message.
The service is currently operating slightly differently in that all our SENDIASS / KIAS Officers are delivering their duties now working from home.
You can call, text or leave a message on 07771 977384, someone will come back to you as soon as possible, we aim to get back to you within seven working days. Alternatively if you are trying to contact a particular Officer and have their mobile numbers please continue to use this number.
In line with Government guidance we will attempt to support you in a way that doesn’t involve face to face meetings, we are confident that we can continue to offer deliver services that are beneficial to you through alternative means using phone or video conferencing.
Please discuss your needs with your worker and they will advise on each individual situation.
Kias, Kirklees Information Advice and Support Service, is for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and / or Disabilities and their parents or carers. KIAS is a statutory, free, impartial and confidential service, working with Parents / Carers, Children and Young People. The service offers information, advice and support relating to a child or young person’s Special Educational Needs and/or disability and is available to anybody living within the Kirklees area.
