The Children’s Education Advisory Service (CEAS) What is CEAS?
CEAS is a MoD Service for you as Service parents and your families, which can provide information, advice and, sometimes, direct support with any issue relating to the education of your children. Whether you are on the move or staying put you can contact CEAS using the details below.
Any issue?
CEAS will certainly try to help you with any issue relating to your children’s education and if we are unable to, we will point you in the direction of someone who can. In particular, we can help you with:
• Admissions to schools and admission appeals
The procedures for admitting children to schools have become more complex in recent years. Mobile Service parents sometimes find it hard, initially, to secure places for their children at the schools they want. If you are in this situation, please do not struggle on your own – we can help you.
• Special Educational Needs (SEN)
It can be hard enough having a child with SEN without having to deal with the complexities of U.K. education systems together with the implications of mobility or deployment. If you register your child with us, we can help you to deal with many of these issues and/or local authorities. Just contact us to find out more. If you have a child with SEN and you are posted overseas, you must contact us before you accept the posting.
• Boarding Education
If you want to establish educational continuity for your children, you may wish to consider boarding education for them. JSP 752 states that you must contact the Children’s Education Advisory Service (CEAS) prior to making a commitment to any school.
• Retention of quarters If your child has started G.C.S.E.s, ‘A’ levels or is undergoing a statutory assessment of his/her SEN and a posting comes up, you can seek support from CEAS with retaining your quarter to allow these courses or assessments to be completed before your family has to move.
How do I contact CEAS?
The CEAS Helpline is available from 08.30 – 15.30 Monday to Friday. An answer phone is available at other times and when the lines are busy. You can also e-mail us or look at our website for further information.
