When children move frequently from one school to another or between different educational systems obtaining appropriate provision can be complex.
CEAS provides information and advice as well as supporting parents at meetings with schools, local authorities, at tribunal etc. No question is too small or too large for us to deal with. If we don't know the answer ourselves we usually know someone who does.
The Head of Service is Olivia Denson who is assisted by Jeremy Watt, Deputy Head of Service. Both have experience of working at a senior level in schools as well as working in Local Authorities. Susan Wright and Peter Flood are Parent Support Officers based in the Upavon office and Bernadette Lynch is a Parent Partnership Officer based in Germany. They all have extensive experience of working in education.
CEAS also has a Business Manager, two Executive Officers and six Helpline Operators. All of our staff have considerable experience of advising Service parents on a wide range of issues regarding Service children's education.
The CEAS Helpline is manned from 0830hrs - 15.30hrs Monday to Friday. At other times, or when the helpline is busy, messages can be left on the answer machine or sent via e-mail. Please ensure that your name, the name and date of birth of the child (if appropriate) and your contact details are left slowly and clearly.
