The postcode lottery
Where you live shouldn’t decide what your child gets.
The National Audit Office’s 2024 review of SEND found that children with the same needs receive very different services depending on where they live, with EHCP and therapy waits varying sharply by local authority. (NAO, 2024)
The nearest private specialist is an hour’s drive — if they’re even taking new families.
Your child is struggling at school and the wait for an EP, SLT or CAMHS where you live is measured in years.
You’ve Googled everything, and what you can find locally is either unaffordable or unavailable.
You just want someone qualified to tell you: here’s what’s going on, and here’s what to do about it.
That's exactly why ChildWize exists.

Parent stories
Real families, real results
“Our nearest OT was a 90-minute drive away and not taking new families. ChildWize meant we could just open the laptop.”
Hannah, Rural Lincolnshire
Mum of a 7-year-old with sensory processing needs
Two clinics within reach by car. Both with closed waiting lists. The nearest one taking referrals was in Lincoln, ninety minutes each way.
First session within a fortnight, in our living room. By the third session his school had a sensory plan in place.
“Every private practice we found was in Cardiff or Swansea. Going online wasn’t a compromise — it was the only way we were ever going to get seen.”
Rhiannon, Pembrokeshire
Mum of a 5-year-old awaiting an autism assessment
Closest private autism specialist a two-hour round trip. NHS pathway quoted at 18–24 months locally.
Started parent coaching while we wait. We finally feel like we’re doing something instead of just sitting on a list.
“Our SENCO told us straight: there was no SLT capacity to refer to. ChildWize was the first thing that actually existed for us.”
Tom, Cornwall
Dad of a 6-year-old with a speech and language need
School flagged the concern; community SLT had no slots. Private SLT in the county was either booked solid or in Plymouth.
Weekly online sessions with a therapist who shares notes with the school. Her teacher noticed a difference inside a term.
