SEND Advice Service

Skylarks SEND Advice Service is open but is operating at a reduced capacity.

We currently have one staff member offering appointments and therefore are not able to support as many parents. We will have another staff member joining us in April and will be able to offer more appointments after the Easter holidays.


We urge you to read and watch all our relevant videos and information sheets and to consider contacting other organisations as listed below before contacting us please.

To request an appointment, either by phone, F2F or online, please email education@skylarks.charity
