Trusted Network
I believe that feeling safe and secure in our community is vital for our well‑being. That’s why I’ve created this space to highlight local businesses and services I value personally and feel confident recommending to families.
Oliver's Way
A café with a difference. A safe space for the community, a home away from home. Everyone should feel welcome and comfortable and I want to create a space where children and adults with SEND can be themselves with no judgement.
The café includes a safe, secure play area stocked with everything a sensory seeker could enjoy. They also offer snack plates with foods kept separate, showing just how thoughtful and attentive the team at Oliver’s Way truly are!
SEND Parents In Power
SEND Parents in Power is run by Becky and Katrina, two SEND parents with lived experience of navigating the complexities of the SEND system. Their service centres on listening, empowering parents, and making the SEND journey feel more manageable, supportive and hopeful.
Drawing on more than a decade of combined professional experience, extensive training in SEND law, advocacy and statutory processes, they provide clear guidance, practical help and advocacy to ensure children’s needs are understood and represented.

DAWN provides practical welfare support, including benefit form completion, Tier One appeal guidance, autism passports, training
