Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

If your child has a special educational need or disability (SEND) and you need support, get in touch with their school or seek impartial and confidential advice.

Request support

Your child does not need an SEN diagnosis for you to receive advice or support.

SEND local offer

Liverpool's Local Offer sets out the support that young people with disabilities up to the age of 25 can expect.

Self help

Advice and guidance on stages of concern, the SEN process and how to get help as and when you need it.

Apply for a Family Fund grant

Low-income families with seriously ill or disabled children can apply to the Family Fund for help with the cost of equipment, goods or services.

Autistic Spectrum Disorder training

We offer advice, support and training to families of children or young people aged 0-19 years in Liverpool.

Apply for home to school transport

Parents and carers of pupils with a SEND can apply for help with transport to and from school or college.

Independent travel training

We offer travel training to young people who can’t get to school or college independently because of their SEND.
