TESTIMONIALS

We know our support for young people with special educational needs and disabilities makes a real difference to their lives. Don’t just take our word for it! We’re proud to share the voices of the families, young people, professionals and educators we work with every day.

“SEND Collaborative have helped me several times over the past few years. Each time they were immediately responsive, absolutely welcoming and above all, they strive to hear what I was trying to share and to truly understand the challenges. I was always supported in the way that was right for us rather than being channelled into someone’s preset system. Every interaction felt like I was working alongside a friend, and that, at this point in the battles, has been invaluable."

"We contacted The Send Collaborative when we were struggling to navigate the system - our case worker had stopped responding. Marie helped us through the entire process and we wouldn’t be where we are at, without her support and expertise. From the very first conversation, we were instantly at ease with her knowledge and experience. We have now been awarded a special school place for our son and I honestly believe we wouldn’t be in this position without her help."

"I came to The SEND Collaborative in a difficult situation. We'd missed tribunal deadlines and paperwork had not been submitted. Without hesitation, Niaomi picked up our case and in 24 hours had dug us out of a very deep hole. She had a matter of months to turn our case around and yet she managed to work with the LA and get them to concede the week before tribunal and we secured EOTAS for our daughter."

"Our daughter is thriving, and I am so grateful to The SEND Collaborative for helping us! She now has access to bespoke music lessons and is creating compositions in the studio on a weekly basis. It is pure joy to watch her play music in an environment suited for her needs."

"The SEND Collaborative came into our lives at a very stressful and emotional time. We were struggling to find a way forward but they quickly scooped us up and gave us so much support, encouragement and expert advice. They truly went above and beyond."

"The SEND system is so complicated but the team have an abundance of knowledge and experience, all delivered with respect and kindness. As a result of their support, we accessed additional specialist support, had the EHCP completely re-written and secured our preferred placement. We would not be where we are today without them and we whole-heartedly thank and recommend them."

"The SEND Collaborative has supported my granddaughter in every way possible. They have been there for us from the start to the end. We have experienced massive positive changes from working with them. They're an absolute MUST service for families. I fully recommend working with them."
