SEND and your child
If your child has SEND, they are likely to need additional support at school. This can vary from low level strategies which are built into their everyday teaching right through to needs which are complex and are best met in a specialist setting.
You may feel that your child needs an EHCP and would like an assessment but are not sure how to go about this process. You may have started this process and need to appeal a Local Authority (LA) decision.
I have been a SENCO (twice) and also worked in both the mainstream and specialist sector for over 20 years. I am a strong advocate of using the law (which overrides LA policy) to support families and schools in getting the best for young people.
I know that SEND processes can feel overwhelming, especially when it is something that as a parent you will probably only go through once and therefore have no experience of. I have supported many families through the EHCP process and am known for providing clear advice and giving "straight up" answers to any questions you may have.
