The Staffordshire Umbrella Network (SUN) is the SENDIASS networking group looking at issues affecting children and young people with special educational needs and their families.
The network provides an opportunity for parents, carers, young people, voluntary groups and agencies - such as education, social care and health - to get together and help to make a real difference to the quality of services and people's lives in the community. We also provide training for parents and carers.
We will:
- look at good practice
- look at what parents and young people really want or need
- provide a forum for consultation
- help professionals and parents exchange information
- provide agencies with a better understanding of children with additional needs and their families
- provide training for parents and carers
