SEND Buddies are local parents and can help you

Written By Lucy Benson

Are you a parent of a child with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND)? Do you live in Islington? You may want to meet a SEND Buddy.

SEND Buddies are a group of parents all with SEND children. We have received training in Working with Parents at The Parent House. We are available to offer 1:1 sessions during school hours in term time. Your meeting will take place at The Parent House, 55 Calshot Street, London, N1 9AS

We can offer the following:

Real-Life Experience with SEND

  • We have experience of EHCPs, school support, local services, and how to speak up for your child.

A Listening Ear

  • We’re here to listen without judgement, offer reassurance, and understand what you're going through.

Help Making Sense of It All

  • We can explain tricky systems in plain language, come to some meetings with you, and guide you to the right support.

Understanding & Hope

  • We've faced similar challenges and are here to share strength, care, and hope for the journey ahead.

If you would like support from one of us or want to find out more information, please contact Aki on 0207 837 1383, or email Aki@theparenthouse.co.uk

We are a termtime organisation and don’t run services in the school holidays. We will get back to you in September 2026
