Parents In Need

PIN is a charity providing support and guidance to parents of SEN children in the U.K. We offer support to parents of children (aged 1-18) with special needs.

We are here to listen to parents of children with special individual needs and direct them to swift and practical help. We also aim to provide financial help where necessary for any of the following:

Professional advice
Independent assessments
Legal advice
Emotional support
Respite care
Help with transitions for older children to further education

We will also point parents in the direction of other organisations and charities that may be of help. Where a child has a strong case for the right support, but the local authority refuses to provide it, parents will need to act on behalf of their child. Seeking independent medical, educational, social and legal advice is expensive and daunting. PIN will support these parents with both financial help and guidance. Alternatively, if the parents need emotional support or respite, we will listen and try to assist.

Yesterday, more than 50 charities and organisations came together with one message: disabled children and their families cannot keep being forgotten.

Together, we published an open letter calling on the Prime Minister to fix a social care system that is failing disabled children and families every day.

Last night, that message reached a national audience on Channel 4 News. The report shared the story of Emma Chapman and her son Alf, who has high care needs, and their family’s experience of trying to secure the social care support they need: https://www.channel4.com/news/its-a-process-of-being-gas-lighted-familys-fight-for-social-care-reforms

Join the organisations that have already spoken out and back our call for the Government to act on disabled children’s social care: https://support.disabledchildrenspartnership.org.uk/en-gb/DCP_open_letter%20?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=Open+Letter&utm_id=Social+care
