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.

🌟Coffe Morning 🌟
A big thank you to those who came along to our recent coffee morning with Sarah Griffiths and Janet Ritchie and shared their experiences and feedback around the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) process. It was really valuable to have
parent carers in the room sharing both what has worked well and where families feel things could be improved. If anyone was unable to attend but would like to share some feedback, please get in touch and I can forward it over to Sarah and Jane.
