SEND: Supporting Your Journey

Our SEND Services

We understand that accessing life and education can be more challenging if you’re living with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Let us help! We can provide you with information and support in a really practical way. We’ve created a dedicated service that focuses on supporting those living with (and those supporting those living with) SEND in our community. All of our services are free and operate on an appointment only basis.

Empowering Parents and Carers

Our SEND services offer assistance to parents and carers of children of all ages, helping you understand how best to support your child's needs. We can guide you through the complex SEND system and provide advice on accessing the right support, including the application process for an EHCP (Education, Health & Care Plan). If you need help collaborating with schools to ensure the best outcomes for your child or need to understand Home Education then we've got your back. Whatever concerns or questions you have about SEND, please reach out to us for advice or to schedule an appointment.

Emotional Support and Community

We understand that this journey can be emotionally challenging and lengthy. That's why we’re here to offer emotional support through various groups where parents and carers can share their experiences and receive advice over a cup of tea. Sometimes, knowing that you're not alone can make a world of difference.

DLA & PIP

If you need help understanding or completing the paperwork to access the financial support you may be entitled to then we can help. Our specially trained staff can guide you through the whole process and have an excellent success rate.

Deepening Understanding through Training

We can provide valuable information and training sessions for families and professionals. These sessions aim to deepen your understanding of different aspects of SEND, equipping you with knowledge and tools to better support yourself and/ or your child.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It
