SEND in the Dads
A group for dads and male carers, because dad-carers are too often left out of the conversation. No pressure, no jargon — just people who get it. Come for a brew, stay for the company.
Why it exists
Dad-carers are too often the ones nobody asks
Perri Watson started SEND in the Dads to fill a real gap — most SEND support is built around mums, and dads and male carers can end up isolated on the edge of their own family's journey. This group exists so that doesn't have to be the case.

Kids welcome, no need to book.
Perri talked about why he started this group on SEND Out Loud — worth a listen if you’re on the fence about coming along.
What to expect
No pressure
Turn up, don't turn up, bring the kids or don't. There's no attendance sheet and nobody's checking.
No jargon
Straight-talking conversation, not another acronym-filled meeting. Say it how it is.
People who get it
Other dads and male carers on the same road — no need to explain the basics from scratch.
Come for a brew, stay for the company
No booking, no forms. Just come along, or drop us a message first if that's easier.
