    Why we built SEN Providers UK

    Families often report feeling overwhelmed, unsupported or left to navigate the SEND system alone.

    At the same time, thousands of tutors, therapists and AP providers offer exceptional work — but are difficult to find unless you already know where to look.

    SENProviders.co.uk bridges that gap.

    We bring clarity, organisation and accessibility to a system that can feel confusing and fragmented.

    Our commitment

    We are committed to:
    • making SEN support easier to access
    • improving transparency in the SEND sector
    • supporting high-quality, inclusive education
    • helping children and young people receive the right help at the right time
    • providing a reliable platform for families and professionals

    Our purpose is simple: connect every child with the support they need to thrive.
