Turning Lived Experience
Into Public impact
We're building the space where SEND parents and carers get heard, and where that voice reaches the people who write policy.
why we exist
If you're raising a child with special educational needs or a disability, you already know things the system hasn't caught up to. The tribunals. The waiting lists. The fights for an EHCP that should never have needed a fight.
You don't need an invite to the table. Your experience is your expertise. This is where we bring it together and use it.
our 5-stage cycle
Stage 01: Share
Create a safe space for families to share their honest, unedited reality.
Stage 02: Aggregate
Gather individual stories to find the common threads and build a mountain of collective evidence.
Stage 03: Publish
Turn that evidence into raw, transparent reports and campaigns that tell the truth out loud.
Stage 04: Prove
Use our collective voice to put the lived expertise of SEND families directly in front of policymakers.
Stage 05: Change
Disconnect closes. Policy shifts. Celebrate the win and start a fresh page for the next challenge.

Backed by Parliament
The Spaceship works alongside the SEND Parent and Carer Expertise APPG, connecting families directly to the people in Westminster who can act on what we share.
