Storing Information 

Your records are held by SEND the Right Message on a computer or work phone. Every computer or work phone is password protected.  We use them to record decisions and plans that have been made to ensure we are providing the right type of support for you and your family. SEND the Right Message captures anonymous data like age, location, diagnosis etc to help us monitor where our services could improve and to give vital statistics to our funders to let them know how we are performing.

As an organisation we respect your privacy and will always aim to work confidentially. We will only share information with your consent.  However, if we have concerns about the safety of you or children we have a duty to report this.  We will always discuss any safeguarding concerns with you before doing this unless doing so puts you and/or your child at risk of significant harm.
Please consider donating
As a small organisation, we do not receive a lot of funding, so we rely heavily on donations. We also recognise that everyone’s circumstances are unique, and we don’t want to exclude anyone from becoming a member, so we are offering a ‘pay it forward’ scheme. We understand not everyone can give support right now, but we'd greatly appreciate if you'd let us know you would like to donate in the future too.
