At SEN Parent Support Group, we are a community created by parents, for parents. We know the challenges of navigating Special Educational Needs because we’ve lived them ourselves. Our mission is to offer a safe, welcoming space where no family has to face the SEND journey alone.
“Navigate the SEN Educational Processes for Better Outcomes – TOGETHER™”
Our free Facebook group is home to more than 25,000 + parents, offering lived‑experience support, real‑life advice, and a place where you can ask questions without judgement. It’s a supportive, understanding environment built on peer‑to‑peer connection – because no one understands an SEN parent like another SEN parent. We have 10 professional Admin/Moderators who are responsive and IPSEA Trained to Level 3 to answer your every question!
For families wanting deeper guidance, our Membership Area provides full access to the SEN Parent Support Group Resource Hub, containing over 450 + resources including template letters, step‑by‑step guides, timelines, how‑to tools, blogs, vlogs, and practical guidance for every stage of the SEND process. Everything is written in clear, parent‑friendly language and grounded in SEND law.
Membership also includes automatic free access to our full suite of specialist tools:
• The SEND Bible™ – instantly search the entire Hub to find exactly what you need
• SEN Support Tracker App – track communication, evidence, and school responses
• EHCP Draft Checker – identify missing sections and unlawful wording in minutes
• SENDIST Guardian Case Management – organise and manage your whole tribunal documents and timelines with ease
Whether you’re just starting out or navigating complex challenges, you’ll find clarity, confidence, and a community that truly cares.
Together, we’re stronger. Join us – in the free Facebook group or inside the Membership Arena and feel supported every step of the way.
Having only just joined this group I can already see it's going to be crucial to me in supporting my children, The knowledge, Understanding and empathy is absolutely amazing and I would urge anyone dealing with SEN to join.
I always say to other SEND parents "You don't know what you don't know" Well this group is the place where you found out what to know, what to ask for & how to get things done! It's been a game changer for me.
This group has helped me feel not so alone on this journey and admins are very helpful and kind. The templates are a big help too!! Thank you.
Personally feel much more assertive and empowered than I did at the beginning of this journey with the help from this group, the files, the guidance, the template letter and ongoing support and endless hours admins put in to make sure that's all readily available when we need it and kindness when things just feel too much, so a huge thank you and appreciation to the SEN PSG family.
