About send support services

Beyond individual therapists and specialists, there are organisations that offer broader SEND support — advisory services, family support workers, multi-disciplinary teams, and advocacy services. These can be invaluable when you need help navigating the system, coordinating care, or simply knowing where to turn next.

If you feel lost in the system, if you're not sure what your child is entitled to, if you need help preparing for a school meeting or EHCP review, or if you're in dispute with a Local Authority, these services exist to help. SENDIASS in particular is a service every parent of a child with SEND should know about — it's free, confidential, and available in every Local Authority area.

SEND services in Nottingham

Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council both serve the wider Nottingham area, each with their own SEND teams and Local Offers. The city has a range of maintained special schools and specialist academies. Families should check which council covers their area, as the processes and available services differ.

Typical costs

SENDIASS and most Local Authority support services are free. Charity-run support services are typically free or donation-based. Some private advocacy services charge fees, usually £50 to £100 per hour for meeting attendance or report review. Always check whether a free alternative exists before paying.
