For Organisations
WORKING WITH ORGANISATIONS
Practical education for the families you support
SEND Family works with schools, charities, parent-carer forums, community organisations and other groups that support SEND families.
Our sessions help parents and carers understand the decisions involved in planning for a child’s future — clearly, practically and without unnecessary jargon.
Why organisations work with SEND Family
Families are often expected to make important decisions about Wills, guardianship, trusts, inheritance, Lasting Powers of Attorney and planning for adulthood without being shown how the pieces fit together.
SEND Family helps make those subjects easier to understand.
Our role is educational: helping families build confidence, ask better questions and understand what they may need to consider next.
Built on real-world experience
SEND Family is built on practical experience delivering educational sessions for SEND families and working with organisations that support parents and carers.
Michael has delivered over 90+ SEND-focused workshops, reaching hundreds of families across different settings, alongside more than 20 years of professional experience.
Sessions have covered practical future-planning topics including Wills, guardianship, trusts, inheritance, Lasting Powers of Attorney and planning for adulthood.
The emphasis is always the same: clear explanations, practical examples and a better understanding of what families may need to consider next.

Who we work with
SEND Family can support:
- schools and specialist education settings;
- SEND charities;
- parent-carer forums;
- community organisations;
- family support groups;
- disability organisations;
- employers or professional groups supporting SEND families.
If your organisation works with parents or carers navigating long-term planning decisions, we can discuss what kind of session may be useful.
Topics we can cover
Depending on the audience, sessions may include:
- Wills and guardianship
- Trusts and inheritance
- Vulnerable beneficiaries
- Lasting Powers of Attorney
- Benefits and inheritance
- Planning for adulthood
- Financial protection
- Family communication and future planning
Sessions can focus on one theme or provide a broader introduction to how the main planning decisions connect.
Flexible delivery
SEND Family sessions can be delivered:
- online;
- in-person;
- as a standalone workshop;
- as part of a wider parent programme;
- as a webinar or educational talk;
- as a series of shorter sessions where appropriate.
Content can be adapted to the audience, available time and level of prior knowledge.
What families can expect
Our sessions are designed to be:
- easy to understand;
- practical rather than theoretical;
- respectful of different family circumstances;
- focused on education rather than selling;
- open to questions;
- clear about where individual professional advice may be needed.
Families should leave with a better understanding of the decisions in front of them and a clearer idea of what to consider next.

Bring practical SEND Family education to your community
If you’re considering a workshop, webinar or educational session for your community, we can discuss the audience, the topics that would be most useful, the format, timing and whether the session should be broad or topic-specific.
