Parent Partnership Service
Parent Partnership Service
Pembrokeshire’s Parent Partnership Service provides impartial advice and information about Additional Learning Needs (ALN) and the ALN system
This information and advice is available to everyone, including children, their parents and young people aged up to 25 years in non-advanced education (this means further education but not higher education).
Being impartial means we don’t take sides; the advice and information is unbiased and objective.
