Are You Confused by Your
Child’s SEND Information?
We provide practical support to help you get organised and stay organised. We will enable each individual parent by helping to compile, organise and design their SEND related information into an easy and useful filing system that they can easily access. The file can be presented at important meetings with key professionals and agencies. It will provide all the necessary information on the child/young person, which can be taken to any appointments. The contents will include, what the child/young person’s special need is, the impact it has, their likes, dislikes, allergies, concerns and what to be aware of.
It will take the stress and frustration out of your very busy complicated SEND journey.
We will help you:
- Create the ‘All About Me Form’
- Understand the local SEND departments (Education, Health & Social Care)?
- Find out about your legal rights and understanding SEND law.
- What information do you need for your child’s EHC/SEN Support/Individual Learning Plan?
- What local and national advice and support are available for your child and family?

We can help you create a filing system that you can edit easily as your child grows up and develop. You can choose the design of the file and have it tailored to your child’s age. We can help you compile the most appropriate and useful content for you and your family. (Please note: we do not offer general electronic templates of the master file but once purchased you are free to photocopy the each page according to your requirements.) We welcome ideas and suggestions as to further changes we can make to the master file to ensure it truly provides overall information that represents the indivual child or young person.
The files cost only £10.00 and is a contribution to the total cost of producing the individual file for each child, including printed inserts, dividers and plastic holders, useful information booklets and leaflets. The cost of the files also contributes to the ongoing costs of the project to allow us to continue to develop it and tailor it the needs of families. We provide 1 hour free one-to-one support with from one of our Parent Champions to find out what you need in the file, understand the information you have on your child/young person and how to use it at meetings with key professionals and agencies.
The files are design to support individual children or young person, if an organisation or educational setting (childcare provider, pre-school or school, college) would like to discuss producing a filing system to help support their pupils, please send us an email with your enquiry. We would be happy to help create you a system and provide ongoing support.
The project is made possible thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund as part of our ‘EMPOWERING SEND PARENT CARERS’ Project.
