EHCP Support
Support with all stages of the EHCP process including:
- Requests for an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment
- Understanding professional reports
- Responding to draft EHCPs
- Ensuring provision is specific, quantified and legally enforceable
- Advice on suitable educational placements
This service helps ensure your child’s EHCP accurately reflects their needs and protects their support long-term.
Critical Review of Draft EHCP
A detailed professional review of your child’s Draft EHCP. This is usually time critical as you only have 15 days to submit your request for amendments.
You will receive a document outlining recommended amendments to ensure:
- Needs are fully reflected
- Provision is clearly specified
- Language is legally enforceable
- Important support is not missing
This can make a significant difference to whether provision is properly delivered.

School Meeting Support
School meetings can sometimes feel intimidating, particularly when important decisions are being made about your child’s education and support. I offer support to parents by helping you prepare for meetings, understand your child’s rights and ensure that the provision outlined in their EHCP is being properly discussed and implemented.
I can also attend meetings alongside you where appropriate, helping to ask the right questions, challenge unclear information and ensure that conversations remain focused on your child’s needs. My role is to help parents feel confident, informed and heard, so that decisions are made in the best interests of the child.
DLA and PIP Application Support
Completing forms for Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can feel overwhelming, especially when you are already managing the day-to-day needs of your child or family member.
These forms require detailed information about how a condition impacts everyday life, and many families struggle to know how to present this clearly.
I offer support with completing these applications, helping you explain your child’s needs in a way that accurately reflects the level of support required. This can include working through the form with you, helping to word responses appropriately, and ensuring the full impact of your child’s needs is recognised.
My aim is to make the process less stressful while giving your application the best possible chance of success.
Child Needs Assessment
I offer a comprehensive assessment of your child’s needs, designed to build a clear picture of their strengths, challenges and the support they require to thrive both at home and in education. This assessment considers areas such as emotional regulation, sensory needs, learning profile, behaviour, communication, and how demands in everyday environments may be impacting your child.
The process includes gathering information from parents, discussing your child’s experiences at home and school, and observing patterns in behaviour, regulation and engagement. Following the assessment, you will receive a written report outlining key areas of need alongside practical recommendations and supportive strategies that can be implemented at home or within school.
This assessment can also help parents better understand their child’s profile, support conversations with schools, and provide useful information when considering additional support or future EHCP applications.
