SEND Services in Trafford

Trafford is a metropolitan authority in the North West of England with a growing commitment to inclusive SEND support, currently participating in the Department for Education's SEND and Alternative Provision Change Programme, which runs until August 2026 and is testing new approaches to early intervention and inclusion across nine local authority partnerships. The programme emphasises strengthening support within mainstream schools through coaching and outreach, creating clearer pathways for children who need additional help, and developing Local Inclusion Support Offers tailored to what works best in Trafford's own context. If you're new to navigating SEND support in Trafford, Trafford SENDIASS (the local SEND Information Advice and Support Service) is your independent point of contact - they can guide you through the system, explain your rights, and help you access the right support for your child at every stage. This page brings together the key local services, specialist provision, and practical information you'll need, alongside contact details for the support services available to your family.

As you work with Trafford SENDIASS and your child's school through those graduated approaches to support, JakTrack sits quietly alongside you, helping you build a clearer picture of what's actually happening day to day. By tracking sleep, meals, behaviour and wellbeing patterns over time, you'll spot the connections that matter - the things that help your child thrive and the triggers that don't - so when you walk into meetings or appointments, you're not relying on memory or worry, but on real evidence of what you've observed. Starting early with this kind of tracking means you're building a foundation of insight that grows stronger the longer you use it, giving you genuine confidence that you understand your child's needs and can advocate for them with clarity and calm. see how JakTrack can help
