If you are a parent or carer of a child with special educational needs, trying to get advice, support and information can seem very confusing at times. It can feel intimidating to approach the education authority, school or other professionals involved in your child’s education.

Calderdale Parent Partnership service is here to ensure that you receive the advice and information which will help you make the right choices for your child. Our aim is to help parents, carers, schools and all professionals work together to create the right environment for children with special educational needs.

Calderdale Parent Partnership Service is situated in the Elsie Whitely Centre, Hopwood Lane, Halifax, within easy reach of the town centre. We are an impartial service and all calls are treated as confidential. There is also a Choice Advisory Service which offers advice on all aspects of transfer to secondary school, including helping to make the school admissions process clearer.

What the parents say:

“The people at Parent Partnership are very comfortable to talk to”

“It’s nice to know there is someone to give advice”
