The SEND Navigator's role is to help families of children and young people with SEND in Calderdale to
- access good quality, relevant information
- signpost to people and services who can help (both Unique Ways services and other providers)

- help parent carers understand the help they can get
- help parent carers build confidence in understanding and supporting their child's needs
- help with the parent carer section (Section A) of an assessment for an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
- support parent carers to find a positive way to move forward
The SEND Navigator isn't an emergency/crisis support service and this role is designed to work alongside other services such as Calderdale SENDIASS and Calderdale Council's children and young people's services.
The SEND Navigator is unable to
- advocate or speak on behalf of the parent carer, their role is to support the parent carer in being heard
- attend school meetings with parent carers
- be involved if you have already moved to an appeal stage of an EHCP
