What is this service?

IPSEA’s volunteers regularly advise and support parents and carers whose school-aged children are unable to access education because of anxiety or similar difficulties – very often associated with the child’s SEN. This is sometimes known as 'school refusal'. When a child is unable to attend school and their behaviour and/or anxiety appears to be worsening, it is important to seek help as soon as possible.
