SEND in Mind

Wandsworth Service

We support families with children who have SEND (special educational needs and disability) needs aged 0-19, with anything related to the health, education, and overall wellbeing of their child.

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 that meets 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 child’s and your family 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

• Escorting families to appointments

Working through the often complex and long disability allowance application (DLA)
Benefits advice and access to appropriate financial & non-financial support, including Citizen’s Advice
