National award for KIDS Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) mediation service
KIDS SEND Mediation Service has recently been announced as winner of the prestigious National SEND Mediation Award 2020.
KIDS SEND Mediation Service, which is jointly commissioned by NHS Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Norfolk County Council, is an independent mediation and disagreement resolution service, which is free of charge for parents/carers and young people. The service helps to settle disagreements between parents or young people and local authorities and schools or other education providers. These disputes are often about the special educational needs and disability (SEND) of children and young people and how best to meet their needs.
John Fisher, Cabinet member for Children's Services, said "This award is wonderful recognition for the impact of the KIDS service for children and families in Norfolk. We're committed to doing everything we can to support families and young people and commissioning KIDS to act as a mediation service in Norfolk is another part of that service." |
