Coronavirus Vaccine Parents Perceptions Survey
At present the JCVI advises that children and young people aged 12 years and over with specific underlying health conditions that put them at risk of serious COVID-19, should be offered COVID-19 vaccination, as well as children and young people aged 12 years and over who are household contacts of persons (adults or children) who are immunosuppressed. Young people aged 16 and 17 are recommended to have the first dose of the vaccine.
The Public Health Health Improvement Team would like to hear the views of parents on the vaccine. They also want to hear about where you are getting your information from to help you make a choice about your children having or not having the vaccination.

The Minimum Standards for Information Advice and Support Services (IASS, sometimes known as SENDIASS) were finalised in September 2018. These are part of the IAS Programme and will be the basis of future operational plans and linked funding in 2019/20.
The standards were drawn up by a group of IASS managers, parents, LA reps and the chair of the IASP board, in consultation with the DfE. They are based on the law, the SEND Code and the IASS Quality Standards (which they now supercede). The consultation process recieved feedback from IAS Services, LA staff, third sector organisations, health services and parents.
We use the term ‘advocacy’ in these standards, and we are using a definition of advocacy which we think accurately describes the work and role of IASS.
An easy read version of the standards is available here.
