Waltham Forest SENDIASS (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information Advice and Support Service) aims to help parents/carers, children, young people, and professional staff to work together to provide the best possible support to children and young people with SEND.

When Touriya first joined Centre 404 she was feeling lost and struggling to navigate services to get the help she needed to put support in place for her 26-year-old daughter Jamilah who has autism. As a result, her own wellbeing was being neglected.
JK was concerned about her daughter CR's low Disability Living Allowance (DLA) award, despite CR's autism and high support needs.
Seeking assistance, she turned to Centre 404. Our teams quickly gathered all the necessary information, reviewed the Department of Work and Pension (DWP)'s decision and advised JK to collect additional evidence.
