What is the Parent Partnership Service?
- Milton Keynes Parent Partnership offers independent information, advice, and support to the parents of children who have, or who may have, a special educational need.
- Our aim is to empower parents to become partners in their child's education, to enable them to gain the confidence to voice their opinions, and to make informed decisions about their child's education.
