MINIFLORA AT WORK
Supportig SEND parents at work.
Employees who are raising children with SEND can be managing appointments, school communication, referrals, meetings, waiting lists and follow-ups alongside their working day. Miniflora provides practical navigation support so they do not have to manage all of that alone.
SEND family life doesn’t stop during working hours.
A school call, appointment, referral update or unexpected meeting can happen in the middle of a working day. For many SEND parents, the challenge is not only caring for their child — it is also keeping track of multiple services, professionals, actions and deadlines.

Start with a small pilot
Organisations do not need to launch a large programme immediately. Miniflora can begin with a small pilot so you can understand employee demand, service use and what works best for your workforce.
A pilot could include:
- a defined number of employee places
- a set pilot period
- access to Family Navigation support
- meeting preparation and Task Desk support
- signposting where needed
- end-of-pilot feedback and impact summary
