Description

SEND Parents Help gives parents and carers in England clear, checked guidance on special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and disability benefits for children and young people. Ask about EHC needs assessments and EHCPs, SEN support at school, annual reviews, school places and school transport, and SEND Tribunal appeals. Or ask about Disability Living Allowance for children, PIP, Carer's Allowance, Attendance Allowance, Blue Badges, mandatory reconsiderations and benefit appeals. What you can do: - Get plain-English explanations of each step, including the deadlines that apply. - Look up the exact wording of a question on supported benefit and SEND Tribunal forms, such as question 64 on the child DLA form, and get help putting your answer into words. - Find your council's SEND contacts, local EHCP process and support services. - Get help understanding a decision letter, report or form you have received. - Ask questions about a SEND Parents Help article you are reading. Answers come from the SEND Parents Help knowledge base, written from official guidance and legislation. Figures such as benefit rates and time limits come from a maintained register of facts, each with its source, rather than from memory. SEND Parents Help is run by SEND Parents Help CIC, a Community Interest Company. The guidance covers England only and is general information, not legal advice. The tools only read our published guidance and need no account.

Tools

9 tools agents can invoke

Use this when the parent asks about a form as a whole: what it covers, how it is organised, or how long it is. Returns the form details and its list of sections (with section_id values). Set include_questions to true only when every question is needed, because a full form is large.
get_form
Use this when the parent refers to a question by number ('Q64', 'question 12', 'box 7'), before asking them to type it out or send a screenshot. Returns the exact wording, answer options, notes and limits for one question, a list ('5,6,7') or a range ('5-9'). The child DLA form is 'dla1a-child'.
get_form_questions
Use this when the parent is working through a named part of a form (for example 'the mobility section' or 'part 3') rather than one numbered question. Returns that section and all of its questions. Get section_id values from get_form.
get_form_section
Use this when the parent names their local authority or council in England. Returns its researched SEND profile: key contacts, the local EHCP process, specialist provision, health services, social care and family support, transport, housing, money and benefits support, leisure and childcare, parent support and advocacy, transition from 14 to 25, and links, so answers are local rather than generic.
get_location
Use this to find the slug for the parent's local authority (their council) in England before calling get_location. Lists every local authority with a researched SEND profile.
list_locations
Use this when the parent mentions a form or paperwork and you do not yet know its form_id. Lists the benefit and SEND Tribunal forms this service has question-by-question data for (for example DLA1A child, PIP2, Carer's Allowance, SEND35 appeal), with their form_id values.
list_forms
Use this to read a whole knowledge base document (the document_path from a search_guidance result), or a SEND Parents Help blog article when the parent shares or mentions a sendparentshelp.com/blog link. Returns the document text, paged: when has_more is true, call again with next_offset. Also use it with path 'llm/document_processing.md' before reviewing a letter, report or form the parent has uploaded or pasted.
fetch_document
Use this when a search_guidance match looks relevant but its summary is not enough to answer accurately, or you need to quote it. Returns the full text of up to 10 knowledge base sections by chunk_id, plus key_facts: the amounts, time limits and percentages those sections state. Take figures from key_facts, not from memory.
fetch_guidance
Use this when a parent or carer in England asks about special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) or disability benefits for a child or young person: EHC needs assessments and EHCPs, SEN support, school placements and transport, SEND Tribunal appeals, DLA, PIP, Carer's Allowance, Blue Badges, and their rights. Searches the SEND Parents Help knowledge base and returns ranked matches. A confident match also returns the full text of the best match (best_match) with its key_facts, so you can answer without a second call. Call it before stating any amount, deadline, threshold or eligibility rule.
