Disclaimer
Updated 22 September 2026. Please read this before using any information or listings on SENDPath.
- SENDPath is a directory and information resource only.
- We do not provide medical, clinical, legal, or financial advice.
- Listings do not constitute endorsement of any service.
- Always consult qualified professionals for decisions affecting your child's health, education, or welfare.
Directory and information resource only
SENDPath (www.sendpath.uk) is a parent-led directory and information resource for families of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Kent, UK.
The content on this Site โ including directory listings, rights guides, eligibility information, and cost-saving information โ is provided for general informational purposes only.
Not medical advice
Our health articles explain general information and published research. They do not assess your child, diagnose a condition, recommend an individual treatment, or replace advice from a healthcare professional who knows your child's circumstances.
If you have concerns about your child's health, development, or wellbeing, please consult a qualified healthcare professional โ such as your GP, paediatrician, or an NHS specialist.
Not legal advice
Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice. Information about SEND rights, Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), tribunals, and local authority duties is provided as general information only. It does not constitute a legal opinion and should not be relied upon as such.
For legal advice on SEND matters, please consult a qualified solicitor or contact one of the organisations below.
Not financial advice
Information about Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Carer's Allowance, grants, and other financial support is provided as general information only. Benefit rules change frequently and individual eligibility varies. This is not financial or benefits advice.
For personalised benefits advice, contact Citizens Advice or a local welfare-rights advice service.
Listings are not endorsements
The inclusion of any school, service, organisation, or individual in the SENDPath directory does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee by SENDPath. We do not verify the ongoing quality, safety, registration, or regulatory compliance of listed services.
Check the suitability of a service directly before booking. Check the professional register or regulator relevant to that service; not every service falls under Ofsted or the CQC. Our therapist checklist explains useful questions to ask.
Accuracy and currency of information
We make reasonable efforts to keep directory listings and information guides accurate and up to date. However, details change โ Ofsted ratings are updated, schools open and close, service availability changes, and legislation evolves. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any listing or information at the time you read it.
Always verify details directly with the service provider or relevant authority (e.g., Kent County Council, NHS, DWP).
Our role and your legal rights
SENDPath publishes information and links to independent services. We do not deliver those services or take bookings for them. A provider is responsible for the service it agrees to supply; this does not remove SENDPath's responsibility for its own actions or statements.
Nothing in this notice takes away your statutory rights. We do not exclude or limit responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other responsibility that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit.
If you find an error or have a concern about SENDPath's information, contact us through the correction and privacy route.
