Our Services


As a private SEND Consultant, I provide independent and impartial advise, guidance and support to families and children with a range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).


I help families navigate through the Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) Process, Understand reports, fill in paperwork, and provide support during SEND related meetings, including to draft paperwork for appeals.


I can assist parents with requests for EHCP assessments and promote positive outcomes in situations where there has been disagreements.


Additionally, I offer SENCO services to education providers, including extensive knowledge of education for children in care and virtual schools.


As an independent educational consultant I am not affiliated with a particular local authority, solicitor's practice, school or group of schools, nor do I receive any commission for introductions or recommendations.


This means I can provide truly independent advice to help parents find the right educational setting for their child.
