We've created infographics based on the SENDIASS Ways of Working Summary Report.
At the beginning of 2026, IASSN put out a survey to all SENDIAS services in order to research the range of work that SENDIAS services are currently engaged in. We wanted to capture the breadth and depth of SENDIAS services’ work and were particularly interested in any areas of work that could be said to go beyond the core service offer.
The below infographics provide an overview of areas of work and shows the areas of work in each Local Area.
The findings of this survey further underscore how SENDIAS services are uniquely placed to provide expert information, knowledge and support to the wider local SEND system. They demonstrate that not only are these services able to provide impartial support and independent advice to children, young people and families but can also play a vital strategic role in supporting the reform of the current SEND system and helping to ensure its effective functioning.
