Worried about your child’s educational progress?
Get in touch for advice and support

Worried about your child’s educational progress? Get in touch for advice and support: DEAL advice line social media3 (1)

In October last year we launched the Dorset Education Advice Line – an advice line for parents and carers who are worried their child might not be making the progress they should be, or who may believe their child might have emerging special educational needs.

To date, we’ve spoken with approximately 60 Dorset families, talking to them about their worries and concerns, and making sure they get the right help, at the right time.

Cllr Andrew Parry, Dorset Council Portfolio Holder for Children, Education, Skills and Early Help said:

“The Education Advice Line will help to ensure that families and professionals work together at the earliest opportunity to engage in early identification and universal support for families in Dorset.

“If you are concerned about your child’s academic progress, or social and emotional development, then please do get in touch. Our Special Educational Needs Family Workers are here to listen, offer advice and can talk through your concerns with you.”

Get in touch

You can book a 15 minute appointment with one of our SEND Family Workers by using our online form, this is the quickest way to contact us.

If you aren’t able to do so, contact us and someone can make this booking for you over the phone. Call freephone 0800 14 040 41.

Our lines are open:

  • Monday to Friday
  • 10am to 4pm
  • term time only

On-line Assistance

A free training programme has been launched to recruit an army of special advisors who can help Dorset’s digitally excluded residents get online.

A team from Dorset adult education centre, Skills & Learning Centre,
were among the first to complete Dorset Council’s
new Embedded Digital Champion training programme.

Open to any organisation in Dorset which works directly with residents, the new programme will train people who can champion online services to their users and customers.

View details here: https://dorsetcouncil-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/new-training-programme-could-help-thousands-more-get-online

Any organisation that would like to find out more about the embedded digital champion training and course dates available, can email edc@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk or watch a new short film featuring embedded digital champion #DigitalNorma, just search for Digital Norma on YouTube.

Storm Eunice – Friday 18 February 2022

DCC considers this information important:

https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/emergencies-severe-weather/disrupted-services

As you may have seen, Storm Eunice is expected to hit Dorset this evening and into tomorrow.

The council has made the difficult decision to advise schools to close and has suspended many services tomorrow/on Friday as 100mph winds are predicted to hit the county from Thursday night into Friday morning and through to the evening.

To help keep yourselves and others safe, please consider the following:

  • Secure loose items in your garden, such as trampolines and furniture covers.
  • Consider whether you need to travel. If you don’t, it may be best to stay at home.
  • If you do have to travel, take extra care. Drive to the conditions and watch out for debris on the roads.
  • Spotted a tree down or another obstruction on the highway? Let us know using online.
  • For the latest weather forecast, please see the Met Office.
  • For Dorset-specific updates, please follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
