NAS Parent to Parent Information

Parent to Parent (P2P) is the NAS’ UK-wide confidential telephone support service providing emotional support to parents and carers of a child of adult with autism. The service is provided by trained parent volunteers, who all have at least one son or daughter with autism. The Parent to Parent volunteers are based across the whole of the UK; this means that there is increased anonymity for parents who may not want to share information with someone in their local area.

Parents and carers can contact the services via phone or online. They can either call 0808 800 4106 at any time day and night and leave a message, a volunteer will call them back as soon as possible, at a time which suits them. Alternately they can fill in our online enquiry form by visiting the Parent to Parent pages of the NAS website https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/help-and-support/parent-to-parent/enquiry-form

You can find more information about the service on our web page https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/help-and-support/parent-to-parent and download our leaflet.

Informal Consultation

Over the last year the School and Governing Body have been in discussion with Lancashire Education Authority regarding the possibility of expanding the number of places at Acorns Primary School. An informal consultation into this possibility is being launched.  The proposal is to increase the schools pupil numbers by 20 and to increase parking facilities on site to ease congestion.


 There is currently an informal consultation ongoing from 4 November 2024 to 22 November 2024. A decision will then be made as to whether it goes to formal consultation.  If it does, we will update you with the date of a meeting in school where a representative from Lancashire County Council will attend to provide further information and answer any questions you may have.


The document can be found under the Key information and in Informal Consultation.
