SEND Social Care

Social Care

Some children and young people with special education needs and disabilities (SEND) will need support from social care services.

This could be because a child or young person: 

  • requires specialist support to meet their needs 
  • is at risk or is experiencing abuse, neglect or significant harm.

The majority of children and young people will have their needs met by ‘universal’ health and education services. Everyone can use these services.

For children with SEND who do receive social care services, our aim is to make sure these services meet their needs and that they, and their families, are fully involved in helping us to plan them.

Our money and benefits section of the Local Offer has more on the financial support you may be eligible for.

Early help support

Our Early Help Service helps families to work out what they need, so they get the right help at the right time

Complex disabilities and health needs

Children with the most severe and substantial disabilities, or complex health problems, are supported by Brent's Disabled Children and Young People's Service (0-25)

Support for parents and carers

If you care for a child or young person with SEND there is a range of support available to help support you and your family

Short Breaks

Short breaks give children with SEND opportunities to enjoy activities with other children and give parents a well-deserved break from caring
