SEND in Mind

Wandsworth Service

We empower parents and carers of children with Special Educational Needs and/or disabilities (aged 0-19).

We offer advice and information to help you find the right services for your family. We know that families have different challenges, so our support is designed to be flexible. Whether it’s assistance with benefits issues or any other concern, we can offer support to meet your family’s changing needs.

Please note: families can self-refer to this service.

The service:

Our dedicated family workers offer support with various challenges related to your family’s needs. They provide practical and emotional assistance, along with information, advice, and guidance.

We understand that life can be demanding, and many families are caring for other children and juggling other responsibilities. In such cases, we match families with our trained volunteers who can offer practical support.

Our Volunteers can support with:

• Completing forms

• Booking appointments

Family Support Workers help with:
Working through the often complex and long disability allowance application (DLA)
SEND-related benefits advice and access to appropriate financial & non-financial support, including grants, donations and crisis support
Workshops/training for parents and carers on various themes, such as parental emotional and mental well-being and support for your child’s anxiety, etc
Establishing peer support networks through activities like coffee mornings and opportunities to socialise with other parents and share your views
Tailored parenting support programmes
Navigating access to other services and organisations
