Our Vision - The long-term wider change we’re aiming for:
Children and young people achieve better outcomes because their parents will have been able successfully to navigate the SEND system. Additionally, those working with such children can access good quality information and improve their ability and communication skills when working with families
Our Mission:
Special Needs Jungle creates easy to understand resources, articles and information for parents and carers of children with special needs, disabilities and health conditions to better enable them to navigate the special needs system.
We aim to inform, educate and empower families to self-advocate confidently, so their children get the help they need to live the best life they can.
Many families do not get the help they need because they do not know where to look or how to cut their way through the increasingly complicated system. We aim to highlight resources and inspire and empower families to do this successfully by providing resources, tips, facts and examples. We also cover SEND Politics, funding, and are seen as a very influential and informative site, reaching up to 500k visits a month.
We are members of the Special Education Consortium, NCVO and the Council for Disabled Children. Our directors advocate for families at a range of high-level groups, including Ofsted, Department for Education and other health and education advisory groups.
We’re also co-founders of SEND Community Alliance, bringing together small parent carer groups under one umbrella to share information and resources and amplify their voices for change.
