Our Services
One-On-One SEND Advocacy
Our personalised advocacy service offers one-on-one support to families throughout the SEND process. Whether you're just beginning the journey or need assistance with a specific issue, we provide the expertise and guidance you need to advocate effectively for your child. Services include:
- EHCP Support: We assist in requesting, reviewing, and challenging Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs) to ensure they meet your child’s unique needs.
- Attend Meetings: We can accompany you to meetings with schools, local authorities, and other professionals, ensuring your voice is heard and your child’s needs are understood.
- Dispute Resolution: If you're facing challenges or delays in the process, we provide expert advice on how to resolve issues and escalate them when necessary.
EHCP Support
Navigating the EHCP process can be complicated, but we’re here to help every step of the way. Our services include:
- Requesting and Reviewing EHCPs: We guide you through the process of making an EHCP request, ensuring all necessary documentation is in place.
- Draft Review and Feedback: We carefully review your child’s EHCP draft and make sure that all the provisions, outcomes, and support outlined are tailored to their needs.
- Appeals and Tribunal Support: If you're unhappy with the final EHCP, we assist with appealing decisions and represent your child’s interests in tribunal hearings, if necessary.
Family Support & Guidance

- Parent Coaching & Advice: We provide ongoing support to help parents understand their rights, navigate the system, and advocate for their children effectively.
- Support with Accessing Services: Whether it’s healthcare, social care, or other essential services, we help families understand their options and ensure they receive the support they need.
- Wellbeing Support: We can connect families with services that help with emotional wellbeing, from counselling to practical tips for managing stress and anxiety.
