Gateshead Parent Partnership Service
Welcome to Gateshead parent partnership service. We work with parents and carers of children with special educational needs. Children with special educational needs may have learning difficulties or disabilities that make it harder for them to learn than most children of the same age.
They may experience difficulties with:
- All or some of the work at school
- Reading, writing, number work or understanding information
- Expressing themselves or understanding what others are saying
- Making friends or relating to adults
- Behaving properly in school
- Organising themselves
- Vision, hearing or physical ability which may affect them in school.
The parent partnership service is provided by Barnardo’s Gateshead family resource centre on behalf of Gateshead council and can help parents work with schools to get the right level of support to enable their children to fulfil their potential.
