HOW WE HELP

SEND Rights Now is a parent-led campaign fighting for the rights of disabled children to receive the education they are legally entitled to. Councils must be held accountable when they break the law and leave children without support.

We’re not here to provide legal forms or duplicate the advice that other excellent organisations already offer. Groups like IPSEA, SOS!SEN, and Contact provide families with guidance and individual case support.

SEND Rights Now has a different mission: to fight for the rights of your children and to hold councils accountable when they break the law.

When you contact us and share your story, or when you choose to partner with us, you’re joining a movement that’s focused on systemic change. Our goal is simple but powerful — to make sure no disabled child is left without education, and to ensure councils are held responsible for their failings.

Together, our voices are stronger. Together, we can force change.
