Local and national charities supporting parents of children and young people with SEND
Local and national charities can provide information, advice and support for children and young people with SEND and their families.
Some organisations specialise in specific conditions or disabilities, such as autism and Down syndrome, while others support carers or champion the rights of disabled children, young people and adults.
Many also offer local support groups where families can share experiences and learn from others. Explore the organisations below to find out what support, advice and services may be available to you.
