We are an independent, parent-led charity, providing specialist and person-centred support to families who have a child or young person with any special educational need or disability (SEND). We can offer:
Information and advice, and a helpline;
One to one support including assistance with Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Personal Independence Payments (PIP) applications;
Independent parental support on all educational issues includes assessments, education health care plans and exclusions;
Support through group activities including a Saturday Activity Club.
We give parents and their children a voice, and help families to navigate the system and access exactly what they are entitled to. We work alongside families, to empower and give confidence.
“I honestly believe the support and guidance you provide is invaluable. I can’t thank you enough. I felt so supported and understood. When I couldn’t turn to others I could to Families InFocus.”
Our service is free to access, and anyone from Essex who has a child or young person with any SEND can get in touch.
