Support for parents or carers of children with SEND

These services and organisations can help parents and carers who are concerned about a child or young person's mental health:

The Parent’s Portal by Autism Early Support

The Parent’s Portal by Autism Early Support is a digital platform for Buckinghamshire families and professionals. As part of the council's universal offer to families, the Parent’s Portal provides free online support and guidance services.

Buckinghamshire Family Information Service

Buckinghamshire Family Information Service supports parents, parents-to-be and children and young people from birth to 19, and up to 25 if they have special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).

Bucks SENDIAS

The Buckinghamshire SENDIAS service provides free, confidential, and impartial information, advice, and support for SEND for children and young people aged 0 to 25, and their parents/carers.

Disabled Children's Register (DCR)

Disabled Children's Register (DCR), called the Buckinghamshire Additional Needs Database (BAND) enables the Council to plan and improve local support and services for children and young people with SEND and their families. Families who sign up get access to a Max card, helping families to save money on days out.
