NPPN Update Daisy Russell National Parent Partnership Network Thursday 26th September 2013
What is NPPN NPPN supports the work of Parent Partnership Services (PPS) in England It is funded by the Department for Education (DfE) through a contract We are based at the Council for Disabled Children Our vision is …
Our vision is … that parents and carers of children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities have access to high quality parent partnership services, which are widely respected as an impartial source of information, advice and support.
What have we done? SEN Legal Training - now have level two, covering Heath, Transport, Social Care, Academies and post 16 Together is Better training – joint PCF/PPS training in every region, 10 events in all attended by over two thirds of LA areas Induction and interpersonal skills training on our website Four policy days across the country attended by 75% of all services Regional meetings, NAPPS, presentations, Mott McDonald and pathfinders, SEN info Group etc Benchmarking – highest returns ever, staff and budgets Bill and Code
What we may well do… Development Day was timed and organised a year ago to fall at the end of our present contract - which it does…. However…… Highlights from our proposed contract up to March 2014 include Core NPPN stafing Benchmarking! Oh yes, forms will be out shortly, last one of its kind Regional meeting attendance
Legal and other Training Continue the on-line modules Three more one day level two days From January 2014 it is unlikely we will be putting on any further face to face training, work will then concentrate on preparation for new training modules – Jane McConnell from IPSEA is here and there is an opportunity this afternoon to talk more aboutthis Additional training, possibly on personalisation and personal budgets?
Other bits.. Continue the SEN Information Group Start to draft what minimum standards for our service will look like – will build on the current exemplifications – hope there will be a link to them from the Code provide £1000 towards the costs of identifying a PPS lead in each region who will work with NPPN & the Parent Carer Forums to ensure closer working together and with other regional groups and also feed into and access opportunities on a national level.
Future for PPS Remit extended to include the provision of information, advice and support to parents/carers of children and young people with SEN on any associated health and social care need.

Where? How?
