Referral

Referral requiredNo

As a small charity, Sibs works to upskill professional workers to better support young siblings who are growing up with a brother or sister who is disabled, neurodivergent, has a long-term health condition or a special educational need in the UK. This means that we are unable to take on casework or receive referrals for individual children and their families. However, we provide a range of services and supporting information that can help inform you as a professional, in your work with siblings and their families.

SEND Local Offer

We provide online support for young siblings, aged 7-17yrs old, as well as parents and professionals supporting families.
