Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your device. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember preferences, and — on many sites — to measure how the site is used or to show advertising.

This website is a straightforward information site. It does not set advertising or tracking cookies, it does not run third-party analytics, and it does not use social media tracking pixels or marketing tools.

A small number of strictly necessary cookies or similar storage may be used by our hosting provider to deliver the website securely and reliably — for example to balance traffic or protect against abuse. These are essential to providing the service you have asked for and do not track you across other websites.

• Analytics cookies: not used on this website
• Non-essential functional cookies: not used on this website
• Advertising or third-party tracking cookies: not used on this website

In line with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, we ask for your consent before any analytics or marketing cookies are used. When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose each category individually. Non-essential cookies stay switched off unless you opt in, and rejecting is as easy as accepting.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in the footer of every page. Your preference is stored on your device so we can remember it.

Some pages link out to other organisations, such as official SEND guidance or our free community platform. Once you follow a link, that site's own cookies and privacy policy apply.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and set your browser to warn you before cookies are stored. Blocking all cookies may affect how some websites work, though this site is designed to remain usable.

This policy is reviewed whenever the technology used on our website changes.
