EMTAS phone lines (Term time only)
Language phone lines for parents/carers, Hampshire maintained schools and SLA-supported academies
Phone lines may only be used to support communication with a child where an adult is present with the child for the duration of the phone call.
Please ring us on our help lines via this link for information and support with home-school communication or if you have any questions relating to your child's education or well-being.
All our assistants speak good English so if you can use even a little English you can call at any of the times listed below.
If you need an interpreter for any other language, phone EMTAS on 03707 794222 or email emtas@hants.gov.uk with your contact details and the language you speak. We will do our best to help you.
