Contact is the UK charity for families with disabled children, whatever the condition or diagnosis. Its free helpline (0808 808 3555) is staffed by family advisers who can help with SEND education, benefits like Disability Living Allowance, and short breaks.
The website includes condition-specific information, guides to EHCPs, and 'listening ear' appointments - one-to-one time with an adviser to talk through your family's situation.
How families can use it: their benefits and money pages alone are worth bookmarking, and the SEND helpline pairs well with IPSEA for legal questions. Everything is free and confidential.
