Family Information Network Directory (FIND)
Parents and Carers can get advice here from the Local Authority, where we will post the latest information, support and guidance for children with SEND. For further information please contact the Special Educational Needs and Disability Service (SEND) on 01772 532 509 or email them at FIND@lancashire.gov.uk .
FIND is the Family Information Network Directory at Lancashire County Council which provides support for parents and carers of children and young people.
The FIND database includes information about disabled children and young people up to 25 years old in Lancashire.
Families are invited to submit details about their disabled child or young person to the database, which is used to develop an overview of the needs of disabled children across the county to assist with planning services.
The FIND service is strictly confidential - no individual information about any children or their families is shared with anyone.
Every family recorded on the FIND database receives a quarterly newsletter free of charge to help them keep informed about services and support which may be relevant.
