Are you aware of the role of social care and the services it provides?
Some children and young people with special education needs and disabilities (SEND) will need support from social care services.
Brent's Disabled Children and Young People’s Service supports families with children aged 0-25 who have severe disabilities or complex health problems.The service has a dedicated team of social workers, social work assistants and occupational therapists.
If your child is eligible, the team will assess their needs and develop a package of support with input from you, your child and other professionals.
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.
