More staff will be deployed to a family advice service after youngsters in need of extra help at school faced long waits for support.

- by Don Mort

Leeds City Council said £260,000 a year would be spent expanding the team helping those with special education needs and disabilities (SEND).

A council report said the SEND Information, Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS) had been unable to meet demand from a growing number of families in need of help.

It said: “Often this leads to them not receiving the advice and support at the time they require it.”
