Great resource will come again lovely staff very helpful
I like the community vision so much is the bestplace for children, the staff are so lovely and I am so happy to come here.
‘I wanted to say a massive thank you for our help last week. When you first rang me you could tell the stress levels were high and from that day you never gave up on me. My journey is still tough and have a long way to go with baby coming and being alone but getting me out of the previous property was the best thing that's happened to us for a while. I don't know what I could have done without your help and for that I will never forget you, I mean it from the bottom of my heart. The calls and even checking on me after I moved I know it's your job but you went the extra mile for a stranger I felt your motherly love, something I have been yearning for since my sister passed away. Thank you so much CFCSO, God Bless you. Love MUM and Bump’

“I would like to say thank you so much to [IVS] for being there today, I felt supported knowing that she was present to give input on points I was unsure of, and that she was able to support me in expressing my views in a clear way. The meeting was a success because it was in [my child’s] best interest and provisions that were previously suggested but wasn't done at the school, are now promised to be put in place for him. And thank you for arranging everything.”
“IASS has been instrumental in getting my daughter an EHCP, which in turn has enabled her to access school again after 2 years of Elective Home Education. I contacted IASS initially when I was having difficulties with the school, then again when my daughter started Elective Home Education. At each point the service provided me with the advice I needed. My daughter is now one of only 4 children placed in the XX Secondary Sch (Speech & Language unit) IASS has helped get her [daughter] back into school with the information provided, and without the EHCP in place things would look very different I’ve told her you [Information Advice and Support Service officer] has been very important in her life”
