Merton Special Educational Needs Information, Advice and Support Service (MIASS)

MIASS Logo

MIASS (Merton Information, Advice and Support Service)  is co-commissioned by Merton Council and the NHS to provide free, confidential and impartial information, advice and support to children and young people (aged 0-25) with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) and their parents/carers who live in Merton.

MIASS was formerly known as Merton Parent Partnership Service.

Parents and young people should first contact their school's SENCo, learning support advisor, class teacher and other professionals who know the child/young person. Merton’s SEN Local Offer also has a large number of useful guidance documents and services listed.

MIASS is aimed at families who have explored these options but require some additional direct and specialist help and advice.

MIASS is also running an Early Years drop in at Newminster Children Centre 9:30 - 11:30 on Friday mornings - see flyer for further information
