The sad truth is the system itself is broken. And when the system doesn’t work, it’s children and families who pay the highest price.

No parent should spend months fighting for answers or trying to piece together a puzzle of services, responsibilities, and resources that should already be clear. Yet this is the exhausting reality so many of us face. The Purple Guide exists to change that.

Here, we’ve gathered what families need most: information, contacts, and practical guidance through the EHCP journey, health, education, daily living, advocacy, and beyond. It’s a place to find direction, but also a place to feel less alone.

This is more than a guide: it’s the beginning of a movement. A movement that says children deserve better, families deserve better, and professionals deserve a system that empowers rather than obstructs them. The time for change is now. Together, we start PURPLE.
