SEND events
Free online disability benefits webinars with the Citizens Advice Bureau
Understanding the benefits system can be confusing, especially when you're supporting a young person with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

You’ll learn who can get these benefits, how to fill in the forms and what other support might be available.
Each session takes place on Zoom and is limited to 20 people.
