Where can I get help for SEN support?

Who can I contact, if I think my child may have special educational needs?

Your first point of call is the Special Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo) in your child's school or nursery.

If you wish to discuss your child's needs further you can contact the Special Educational Needs and Disability Teams at: SENDSubmission@cumberland.gov.uk or on: 01946 506 211 (Allerdale and Copeland); 01228 226 842 (Carlisle)

Access to the SEND Social Work Service is initially through contacting the central hub on: 0333 240 1727

Our Cumberland SEND Information, Advice and Support Service (SEND IASS) can also give you advice about Special Educational Needs (SEN).
