A safe space for the conversations that matter.

Discussion Groups

Find parents going through the same thing as you, grouped by diagnosis, by local council, and by your child's age. It's easier to talk when the person reading already understands your world.

Shared Experiences

Read honest, real-life stories from parents who have asked for an EHCP, turned a 'no' into a 'yes', and chosen the right school. Their hindsight becomes your head start.

Ask Anything

Not sure which letter to use? Stuck on a confusing reply from the council? Ask the group, in your own words. Real parents answer from real experience, and no question is ever too small.

Celebrate Progress

A reply, a meeting, a plan finally agreed. Every step forward is a big deal here. Share yours and let people who get it cheer you on.

The SEND process is long. You shouldn't walk it alone.

From asking for an assessment to the final decision, this can take many months, and longer still if you have to challenge a 'no'. That's a long time to carry the worry by yourself. Little Steps gives you the letters to get moving and a group of parents to lean on the whole way through, on the hard days and the good ones. The question that keeps you up tonight is one another parent answered last month, and that someone new will ask next week.
