A voice for Halton SEND families
A Non-Profit organisation run by and for families of children and young people (aged 0-25) who have Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND).
We work independently but in partnership with service commissioners and providers, sharing knowledge and experience of families to help plan and develop the quality, range and accessibility of provision, creating better outcomes for families through participation and co-production.
Here you can find links to help and inform you of useful information we have found.

We’d love to welcome parent carers along to our next coffee morning on Thursday 11th June, 9.30–11.30am at Bridgewater Park.
This time, we’ll be joined by Sarah Griffiths, Interim Head of Service for Independent Living Services, who is keen to hear parent carers’ views and experiences of the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) process.
This is a great opportunity to share:
what has worked well
what has not worked so well
any challenges families have faced
ideas for how the process could be improved.
Please do feel free to share with other parent carers who may be interested 💛
