Why offer Jam Up! benefits?
A 2024 report revealed that up to 75% of parents of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in England reduce or leave work to care for their autistic children – a significant challenge for both families and employers.
If you’re a family-friendly employer committed to supporting neurodivergent talent and working parents, Jam Up! is a powerful and practical way to make a difference.

Jam Up! is a multi-award winning digital platform designed to support families with everyday life skills through gamified, interactive tools – helping children with tasks like getting dressed and brushing teeth.
Parents report reduced stress during routines (especially mornings), which leads to better wellbeing, improved focus at work, and reduced absenteeism.
As part of the Jam Up! employee benefits scheme, families also gain on-demand access to specialist healthcare professionals and SEN advocates, cutting through red tape and getting expert support when it’s needed most.

What employees are saying about the Jam Up! benefits scheme
What employees are saying about the Jam Up! benefits scheme
“This showed they (workplace) care about my needs (I’ve got ADHD) and supporting my two auDHD children.”
“Jam Up! is supporting me to access tuition whilst my autistic son is not in school. They were so kind and helped with the paperwork.”
“The opportunity to be able to speak to someone who can point you in the direction of some useful support, reassure you that you’re not alone and your experiences are normal, is really beneficial. I gained a lot of useful insights from my call, which put some behaviours into perspective that you don’t get from a book”.
