Helping Cambridgeshire’s parents and carers who have
children with SEND/additional needs.
Pinpoint Cambridgeshire is not only run for parents – but also by parents.
We give help and information to parent carers of children and young people aged 0-25 with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and/or additional needs, as well as give parent carers opportunities to have a say and get involved in improving local services.
No formal diagnosis is required in order to access support from Pinpoint – for example, a child may be on a waiting list, accessing services, had a referral turned down, or just be struggling.
