SEND Appeals & Tribunal Support

Navigating SEND Tribunals is an exhausting process. I provide the expert support you need to challenge decisions effectively.

GET STARTED

My support includes:

I offer specialist SEND advocacy for mediation, appeals, and tribunals. Navigating Local Authority disputes is overwhelming, and families often feel stuck between self representation or expensive legal fees.

My service provides an accessible middle ground, offering expert support to build cases and challenge decisions. I assist with evidence, position statements, and representation during hearings.

With clear, fixed pricing, families know costs upfront and can focus on securing the right provision for their child.

Case Building

Reviewing all documentation, including professional reports, EHCPs and correspondence from the Local Authority, to build a clear and structured case that reflects your child’s needs.

EHCP Needs Assessment- Refusal to Assess - attendance at mediation

An EHCNA refusal isn’t the end of the process. We can prepare all necessary documents to submit the appeal, including (but not limited to) reviewing and advising with respect to law, evidence and tactics. We provide continued advice and support throughout the appeal process, including liaising and negotiating with the FTT SEND (“the SEND Tribunal”), school and local authority as appropriate. Attendance at formal mediation is available at additional cost.

Tribunal Preparation and Representation

Supporting families throughout the tribunal process, including preparing documentation, organising evidence bundles and representing you during tribunal hearings.
My aim is to take as much of the stress out of the process as possible while ensuring that parents feel informed, confident and supported.

I work using fixed pricing, so families know the costs upfront and do not have to worry about fees escalating throughout the process.
By combining professional experience with personal understanding of the SEND system, I work side by side with parents to help secure the right provision and support for their child.
