Advocacy Support
Suitable for more complex or ongoing situations where additional structured support is needed.

For families needing more intensive support with complex situations, we work alongside you to strengthen your position, ensure your child’s needs are clearly evidenced, and support you in holding the Local Authority to account.

This support often includes:

  • EHCP Review & Strengthening: A detailed look at your child's EHCP to ensure Sections B and F are specific and quantified.

  • Meeting & Mediation Support: Helping you prepare for key meetings, including mediation and providing support during the process (where appropriate).

  • Ongoing Strategic Guidance: Navigating complex SEND timelines and decision-making processes with expert backing.

Support is tailored to each family, so fees vary depending on the level of input required. I will always be transparent about costs and happy to discuss options before you commit to anything.
