•1\. Parent carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities aged up to 25 years consistent with the current UK Department of Health and Department of Education Special Educational Needs \& Disability (SEND) legislation and The Children’s Act 2014
•2\. Willing and able to attend the programme group meeting sessions on arranged dates/times subject to allocation

•Not able to communicate in English. This is necessary in the feasibility study because the programme has not yet been translated into other languages and SW England is not ethnically diverse. This criterion will not be used for the national definitive trial as the trialists can translate the programme and purposively recruit in black and minority ethnic communities, for instance in collaboration with Include Me TOO (www.includemetoo.org.uk).
