Parents and youth support points.

When your child needs extra support at school, goes to special education or gets education and/or care in another way, you often have many questions or may need help. First, you can contact your child's school for this. But if that is not enough or you want to ask someone else, you can contact the parents and youth support point in your region.

Information and support

The parents and youth support points are there for parents and young people. The support point gives information about tailored education, how it is organized in the region and what the possibilities are at schools for care, youth support or other special help.

The parents and youth support point of the partnership tailored education is there for all questions and support for parents and young people about extra help in education, tailored education. For example, questions about:

• What support does my child need and can the school offer?
• It was said that your child must go to another school or to special education?
• We cannot agree with the school about what support is needed.
• Which school or other options offer what my child needs?
• How can we arrange the care at school well?

Besides information, you can also go to the support point for help and support. For example, when you look for a school that can offer support for your child or when you cannot agree with the school about the needed help.

The support point is there to help you as a parent or young person and works independently. The staff do not have an interest in your child’s school. You can trust that the information or support you get focuses on what is best for your child to get tailored education. Many support points also involve parents with experience you can ask for help.

Contact

Each partnership tailored education has a support point for parents and young people. Which support point you can contact depends on which partnership tailored education your child falls under.

• If your child is enrolled in a school, your child falls under the partnership tailored education where the school location is connected.
• If your child is not enrolled in a school, will change to secondary education or you move regions so your child goes to another school? Then your home address decides which partnership tailored education your child falls under. Usually this matches the partnership tailored education where the nearest school belongs.
