Our commitment
SEN2gether exists so no SEND parent or carer feels alone, and that only works if it feels safe. We’re a values-led team, including a health and wellbeing specialist and a data protection specialist, and safeguarding sits at the centre of everything we build.
Community rules
By joining SENChat and our community you agree to:
- Be kind and respectful. We’re all doing our best on a hard journey. No abuse, harassment or discrimination.
- Protect children’s privacy. Never share anything that could identify a child: full names, schools, photos or specific details.
- Respect each other’s privacy. What’s shared in the community stays in the community. Don’t screenshot or share other people’s posts.
- Share support, not diagnosis. Other parents’ experiences are valuable, but they aren’t a substitute for professional medical, legal or educational advice.
- No spam, selling or promotion without our agreement.
Posts that break these rules may be removed, and accounts that keep breaking them may be suspended.
How we moderate
SENChat is a members-only community: conversations are not on the open web. Our team moderates it against the rules above, and every member can report a post or message that worries them. We review reports promptly and act to keep the space safe. Guidance content (topics, podcasts and wellness) is created and checked by our team before it’s published.
Your data and privacy
We follow UK GDPR and our work is led by a data protection specialist. We only collect what we need to run the community, we keep it secure, and we never sell your data. Read the detail in our privacy policy and data privacy notice.
Report a concern
If something in the community worries you, use the report option on any post or message, or email hello@sen2gether.com and we’ll look into it.
