SEND Hub
North West
Independent Specialist Teaching Service
About us
At SEND Hub North West, we help schools create inclusive classrooms where every child thrives.
Our specialist teachers provide expert assessments, tailored support, and practical strategies grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-based practice. Working alongside schools, families, and professionals, we deliver sustainable solutions that make a real difference.
We work across Lancashire, Blackburn with Darwen, Wigan, Merseyside and surrounding areas.
Neuro-Affirming Support for Neurodivergent Pupils
Our expert team employs a neuro-affirming approach that acknowledges and supports individual capabilities without seeking to 'correct' them. This strengths and needs-based methodology emphasises developmental differences, providing support and adaptations that affirm and honour each child's neurodivergent identity.
Our Approach
Our approach is rooted in deep professional experience across teaching, SEND leadership, specialist pedagogy and assessment, with a clear focus on improving outcomes for children and young people.
Our mission is guided by three core aims:
UNEARTH
We uncover every child’s potential, strengths, and needs, seeing beyond challenges to identify opportunities for growth and success.
ENRICH
We enhance school provision through meaningful strategies, tools, and resources that empower educators to create supportive, inclusive learning environments.
THRIVE
We help children flourish today and prepare for tomorrow by promoting resilience, confidence, and lifelong learning.
Our Services
Our aim is to provide a flexible, bespoke service to meet the needs of ALL pupils and settings. Our services can include SENDCo Consultations, staff training, and SENDCo Supervision via the Listening Tree Group.
"Where a child continues to make less than expected progress, despite evidence-based support and interventions that are matched to the child's area of need, practitioners should consider involving appropriate specialists, for example, health visitors, speech and language therapists, Portage workers, educational psychologists or specialist teachers, who may be able to identify effective strategies, equipment, programmes or other interventions to enable the child to make progress towards the desired learning and development outcomes."

How do education settings make use of our specialist teachers?
Education settings can make use of our specialist teachers in a variety of ways.
Schools can commission a one-off assessment or opt for tailored packages delivered across the academic year. These packages can focus on a range of areas, from individual pupil support to whole-school development, with delivery on a weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or termly basis. Choosing one of our packages ensures peace of mind, with guaranteed access to our expertise whenever required.
