Merton Information, Advice and Support Service (MIASS)

The service is co-commissioned by Merton Council and the NHS to provide free, confidential and impartial information, advice and support to children and young people (aged 0-25) with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) and their parents/carers who live in Merton. MIASS was formerly known as Merton Parent Partnership Service. Parents and young people should first contact their school’s SENCo, learning support advisor, class teacher and other professionals 
who know the child/young person. Merton’s SEN Local Offer also has a large number of useful guidance documents and services listed. MIASS is aimed at families who have explored these options but require some additional direct and 
specialist help and advice.
