IPSEA (Independent Panel for Special Education Advice) is a registered charity (established in 1983) offering free and independent advice to parents of children with special educational needs in England and Wales on:
+ local authorities’ legal duties to assess and provide for children with special educational needs;
+ exclusions of children with special needs/disabilities;
+ actions or inaction by local authorities and/or schools which discriminate against children with disabilities.
IPSEA is a volunteer-based organisation and many of the volunteers providing telephone advice and Tribunal support are themselves parents of children with special educational needs who have been helped by IPSEA in the past.
