What parents say
SEND Parents Help has been really helpful, supportive and easy to use. We've used it for advice for DLA and our Merlin Access Pass, it's made the whole process so much easier. We'll definitely be using it again whenever we need support in the future!
We went through the nightmare of doing the paperwork manually for our son years ago. I now use AI to help with the paperwork for his adult provision. You've made an amazing tool that will go some way to making parents' very difficult lives that bit easier. Brilliant.
