About

Finding practical information about noise levels, quiet/SEN sessions or staff awareness can take time and often isn’t easy to access in one place. Many families only discover how busy, loud or inclusive a venue feels through trial and error. Sometimes, not knowing what to expect can also prevent families from even going at all. This directory aims to reduce that uncertainty by bringing clearer, shared insight together in one structured space.

Each listing is shaped by real family experience and aims to highlight venues/days out/services that are working to be more accessible and inclusive.

Why It Started

As a parent navigating additional needs, I understand how much thought and preparation can go into what might appear to be a simple day out.

SEN Friendly UK began as a way to bring clearer, shared insight into one structured space - so families can make informed decisions with greater confidence. It also aims to help families understand what is available in their local area, as knowing what’s on offer isn’t always so easy to find.

How It’s Growing

The directory will grow gradually, county by county, with contributions from families who want to share practical experiences responsibly. The aims is to make clearer information, shared thoughtfully, to support more confident planning.
