In response, we have organised an event with Saqib Bhatti to discuss the consultation and concerns re Send reforms, so he can respond on behalf of our families

🌟 Introducing Our New SEND Navigator Service 🌟

We’re excited to launch a new pilot service designed to empower families of children and young people with SEND.

Our SEND Navigator Service works alongside parent carers to:
✅ Help you navigate services with confidence
✅ Support coordination with professionals
✅ Guide you in accessing the right support at the right time

By focusing on early intervention, we aim to ensure children’s needs are met promptly and prevent challenges from escalating. Our goal is to equip families with the knowledge and confidence to successfully navigate services independently.

This is a one-year pilot project, generously funded by the National Lottery.

Please note: While we will do our best to support as many families as possible, this is an early support service and may not be able to assist every family.

Service Access Criteria:
• Child or young person has SEND (suspected or diagnosed)
• Child or young person does not have an EHCP
• Aged 0–25

If you think this service could help your family or someone you know, please complete the referral form: https://forms.office.com/e/ELk58BYxMH
