Specialist advice and representation tailored to your situation.
I provide specialist advice and representation in the following areas. All fees are discussed and confirmed in writing before any work begins.
Guidance through requests for assessment, drafting, annual reviews and challenging the contents of an Education, Health and Care Plan.
Preparation for and attendance at meetings with schools and local authorities, helping ensure your child’s needs are properly understood and recorded.
Full support with appeals to the First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability), including evidence preparation, written submissions and representation at hearing.
Drafting and issuing pre-action protocol letters and other formal correspondence to schools and local authorities.
Ad-hoc advice on the strengths and weaknesses of a case, helping you understand realistic options and next steps.
Advice and support in preparation for, and during, mediation in SEND and education disputes.
Clear advice on school placements, exclusions, reasonable adjustments and related education rights issues.
I offer a free 20-minute consultation so we can understand your situation and agree a realistic fee before any work begins. Flexible arrangements can be considered where cost would otherwise prevent a family from getting the support they need.
You will always receive a clear written summary of what is included and the agreed cost.
