What is Parent Link?

Parent Link is the ‘Parent Partnership Service’ for East Sussex. We focus on parents and carers of children with special educational needs (SEN), but all parents are welcome to ring the helpline.

We give information, advice and support to parents of disabled children/ children with SEN. We also help parents to have a say in how services for children and families develop.

Parent Link is merging with the Family Information Servicein summer 2011.

Confidentiality

If you use our service, or get involved in one of our projects, please read our confidentiality policy.

Impartiality

If you use our service, or get involved in one of our projects, please read our impartiality policy.

Child Protection

Parent Link has a duty to protect a child or young person if they are at risk of abuse. Abuse can be physical, emotional, sexual or neglect. In these instances we will follow the East Sussex Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) Child Protection procedures.

Equality and Diversity

As part of East Sussex County Council, Parent Link is working towards:

• Equality – everyone having fair access to our opportunities and services.
• Diversity – recognising and valuing the contribution of every individual

For example, we are working with community groups to provide information to parents in their own language. We are also developing new ways for more people to have a say in how services are developed.

For more information on equality and diversity policies and plans in East Sussex please see Equality and diversity.
