Barnsley SENDIASS

Barnsley SENDIASS Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, Information, Advice & Support Service (SENDIASS) for Barnsley.

Please see the additional information section for further guidance about this page. SENDIASS page overview and values

This page is managed by Barnsley’s Special Educational and Disabilities Information Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS). Its purpose is to create an openly accessible space to support local families through sharing knowledge, resources, tips and advice as well as enabling families to come together and support each other. We have created a set of values to help guide and support you when interacting on this page with the aim of making it as safe and positive an experience for everyone.

- Be Kind and Courteous
We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment for all to be part of. Let's treat everyone with respect, dignity and kindness.

- No Hate Speech or Bullying
Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn't allowed, and degrading comments about things like disability, race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.

- No Promotions or Spam
Give more than you take to this group. Self-promotion or promotion of private organisations and services, spam and irrelevant links won’t be allowed. SENDIASS is happy to share posts that SEND parents, carers, children & young people might be interested to hear about

- Respect Everyone's Privacy
Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Real, open and expressive discussions make groups great, but may also be sensitive and private. What's shared in the group is open to the public and so be aware of what you are posting.

- Respect everyone’s unique situation
Our families all have different lived experiences and will reflect that through their interaction, no one should demean or belittle anyone’s individual interaction on this page as part of their engagement with the service. Inappropriate, offensive and abusive comments will be deleted, and individuals will be blocked / reported if deemed necessary to protect the safety and wellbeing of others.
