This is a place where families can meet multiple professionals and agencies all under one roof, meet other parents and carers of children and young people with SEND and where they and their child can access a range of information about events and activities.

SEND CENTRAL is an inclusive hub with no specific threshold or level of need required for you to access. If you're looking for some advice, information and don't know where to turn, pop along between 9.30am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday and chat to one of our friendly navigators who are people with lived experience of SEND and are employed by the Parent Carer Forum.

If you're unable to physically come to the hub you can email: [email protected] or telephone: 01904 555076 and a navigator will call you back. If you want to let us know that you're going to be coming and there's anything we can do to make your communication with the navigator more accessible, we would love to hear from you and can arrange to make sure we have the right communication support for your visit or call with SEND CENTRAL.
