Introduction

Welcome to Plymouth Information, Advice and Support for SEND Service (PIASS).

PIASS is a confidential, impartial, information advice and support service on issues related to Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) for families living in the Plymouth local authority area.

We can help children, parents and young people to take part in decisions that affect their lives by providing a high quality, impartial and confidential service and empowering families to feel confident making informed decisions about their child’s education.

  • Parents and carers of children with SEND
