It can be hard knowing where to go to get the right advice and support if you have a child with SEND. This section of our Local Offer has comprehensive information about services that can help you. In Brent there are several key organisations that are a good place to start.

  • Brent Carers Centre offers information and support to carers across the borough and advises them about their rights and needs.
  • Brent Children and Families Information Service (CFIS) can give you information on a range of services and activities for children and young people aged 0 to 19 years old (up to 25 years for young people with SEND) including childcare, children’s centres, play schemes, leisure and libraries.

There are many local and national organisations that help children and young people with SEND. They offer support groups, helplines, online resources, activities and sometimes direct face-to-face support. Some of these groups provide support according to specific types of need, and you will find these listed below.
