SEND CENTRAL, York’s new city hub for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) is now open to families across the city.
The new hub is York’s flagship Family Hub for young people with SEND aged 0 to 25 and their families.
Everyone is welcome at SEND CENTRAL, on the site of Clifton Green Primary School, to access information, advice, be signposted to additional support, or find out more about the Local Offer, whether their child has an Education, Health and Care Plan (ECHP) or not.
The new hub will support the council’s SEND provision, working alongside local health partners.
Cllr Bob Webb, the council’s Executive Member for Children, Young People and Education, said:
“Creating a hub for advice, information and support for children and young people with SEND and their families is such an important milestone for the city. I’d encourage anyone who has any queries or concerns to drop-in. SEND CENTRAL really is for everyone, whether your child has an EHCP or doesn’t have a formal diagnosis, and I hope that it will provide a beacon of support for residents in York.”
The new hub forms part of the city’s Raise York network of family hubs providing information, advice and support for children, young people and families in York. It is a key component of partnership work across the city to support children and young people with SEND and their families. This includes a draft 5 year SEND strategy Inclusion and Belonging, which will be reviewed by Executive next month.
