enableSEND is a simple, trusted place for families of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to find the right support.

We bring together schools, therapists, activities, short breaks, care providers and local services in one easy-to-use platform — so families don’t have to search dozens of websites or rely on word of mouth.

Parents and carers can:

• Search for SEND-friendly services near them
• Compare options based on needs, age and location
• Read clear, honest information
• Get guidance on what support is available and how to access it

EnableSEND also works with local authorities and providers to make sure information is accurate, up to date and easy to understand — helping families get the right help, at the right time, without unnecessary stress.

Our goal is simple:

to make navigating the SEND system clearer, fairer and more supportive for every family.
