Support for working carers of SEND children

For the work they do before they log on.

Every day, employees raising neurodivergent and SEND children carry an invisible second shift. SenSqd helps employers see it, support it, and keep the people who do it.

Warm, human, and built for the workplace — not another parenting forum.

The invisible work

The hardest part of their day never shows up on a calendar.

Before they log on

Chasing appointments, filling in EHCP paperwork, and calming a meltdown — all before the first meeting of the day.

During the workday

Fielding a call from school, rescheduling a tribunal, and holding it together on camera as if nothing happened.

After they log off

Therapy runs, forms, worry that doesn't switch off — a second shift no one at work ever sees.

When this goes unseen, great people burn out — and quietly leave. It doesn't have to.

The research

The scale is bigger than most workplaces realise.

SEND caring responsibilities touch a huge share of the workforce — and the cost of ignoring them is measured in talent, wellbeing and money.

In their words

Support people actually feel.

For the first time I didn't have to choose between being a good parent and a good employee. Someone finally built support for people like me.
