Social Care
Meeting the needs of a child with SEND can sometimes be challenging, and you might feel that you need some extra help and support to improve things for your child and your family.
Citizens Advice Shropshire works in partnership with A4u to provide legal advice for children and young people up to age 25 on:
- Welfare benefits
- Claims and appeals
- Community care issues
- Advocacy
- Help with form filling – PIP, DLA and ESA
For a referral to A4U please contact IASS.
