Welcome to
The Compass Partnership
We are a Community Interest Company dedicated to providing parents and carers of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in Bolton with advice, guidance, and training to support them throughout the SEND journey.
One element of our offer is that we are part of Bolton’s Neurodevelopmental Hub. We offer free workshops for parents and carers of children who may be autistic, have ADHD or have another neurodevelopmental difference but do not have a diagnosis.
The Compass Partnership is home to Bolton Information Advisory Service (IAS). IAS provides free, impartial information, advice and guidance to children and young people with SEND and their parents and carers.
The Compass Partnership is home to Bolton Parent Carers, Bolton’s official Parent Carer Forum. The Forum brings together the views and experiences of families to help improve SEND in Bolton, regionally and nationally.
We can also provide training for Bolton professionals and practitioners, encompassing SEND law, process and providing a parent carer perspective.
Our trainers are fully trained in the most up-to-date SEND law and are able to combine this knowledge with Bolton processes and also the reality of the current SEND landscape.
