I am an Independent SEND Education Advisor for parents and carers that are struggling to navigate the SEND school system!
15+ Years in Education & Local Authorities | Qualified SEND Adviser | Neurodiverse Parent | SEND Code of Practice Specialist
Common Concerns
- Your child’s needs aren’t being met at school and you don’t know what to ask for
- You’ve been told an EHCP isn’t needed, but you’re not sure that’s right
- You feel overwhelmed by the paperwork, processes and legal language
- You’re going into a school meeting and don’t know what you’re entitled to
- You’ve received a decision you disagree with and don’t know how to challenge it
How I Can Help
- EHCP Applications & Annual Reviews: Understand the process, strengthen your evidence, and ensure your child’s plan truly reflects their needs.
- School SEND Provision & Reasonable Adjustments: Know what schools are legally required to provide and how to challenge support that falls short.
- Understanding the SEND Code of Practice: Turn complex legal language into clear, actionable information you can use in meetings and letters.
- Identifying Unmet Needs Early: Recognise the signs before things reach crisis point, and learn how to document your concerns effectively.
- Preparing for School Meetings & Reviews: Walk in confident, informed, and equipped with the right questions to hold schools accountable.
- Challenging Decisions & Appeals: Understand your rights when you disagree with a local authority decision, school provision, or EHCP content.
- Transitioning Between Settings: Navigate moves from nursery to primary, primary to secondary, or secondary to post-16 with continuity of support.
- Building Your Advocacy Skills: Learn to communicate clearly, document effectively, and advocate persistently, without burning out.
