Introducing The SEND Bible & SEN Journey Tracker: Your Essential Tools for Advocacy
Navigating the world of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) can feel overwhelming. Between statutory duties, school processes, and the emotional toll of advocating for your child, parents often find themselves searching for clarity and structure. That’s why we’re excited to introduce two powerful resources designed to empower families: The SEND Bible and The SEN Journey Tracker.
What is The SEND Bible?
The SEND Bible, available at thesendbible.org, is a comprehensive, plain-language guide to SEND law and practice. Think of it as your go-to reference book for:
- Statutory clarity: Breaking down complex legislation into practical steps.
- Templates and examples: Ready-to-use letters, forms, and advocacy tools.
- Confidence building: Helping parents understand their rights and responsibilities.
- Accessible design: Written with parents in mind no jargon, just clear guidance.
It’s more than a resource; it’s a lifeline for families who want to advocate effectively without getting lost in the maze of policies and procedures, it only delivers what you need so you do not get confused with a mountain of other information. Simply type in your question or current situation and let the SEN Bible streamline the resources and learning you need to move forward. It’s innovation and simplicity in one!
No subscription required – free to use. *Subscription may be required to access resources via SEN Parent Support Group Membership arena. An overview of each resource is available to view prior to access so you can select what you need when you need it!
What is The SEN Journey Tracker?
The SEN Journey Tracker, available at thesensupporttrackerapp.org, is a digital evidencing tool that helps you map, monitor, and manage you and your child’s SEND journey. It is your DEFENCE mechanism and should be used as such to protect you, your child and your family!
Key features include:
- Timeline tracking: Record each childs SEN, key milestones, meetings, and interventions.
- Evidence storage: Keep documents, reports, and correspondence in one secure place.
- Email Facility: Emails any evidence, letters to both LA and School upon your instruction and submits from your email address.
- Progress monitoring: Visualise your child’s journey and spot gaps in provision, accountability, and prompts you to follow up.
- Advocacy support: Generate clear reports to share with schools, local authorities, or tribunals.
It transforms the chaos of paperwork into a structured, accessible record giving parents the power of evidence at their fingertips.
Why These Tools Matter Together
- The SEND Bible gives you the knowledge to understand your rights.
- The SEN Journey Tracker gives you the structure to apply that knowledge in real time.
Together, they create a powerful toolkit for parents and carers: clarity plus organisation, law plus lived experience, empowerment plus action.
