PARENTS

I can provide support and guidance to help you:

Prepare for meetings with school and other professionals.
Complete referral forms.
Complete applications for funding e.g. DLA, PIP.
Request an Early Health Care (EHC) Needs Assessment.
Complete parental advice for an EHC Needs Assessment following the LA agreeing to assess your child.
Complete interim/annual review paperwork if your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
Collect your child’s view.
Understand your child’s Individual Learning Plan (ILP or IEP), Education, Health and Care Plan or other professional reports.
To find additional services where possible.

I always aim to keep costs as low as possible, ensuring support is accessible and affordable, which is why I offer a free initial telephone call (up to one hour). This enables you to tell me about your child’s needs and their current situation.

Further meetings can take place face to face, or virtually, at a time that is mutually convenient. Costs are based on £70 per hour. There are no additional travel costs for a face-to-face meeting within a 25-mile return trip.

If you would like to get in touch, please fill in the contact form and I will get back to you to arrange a mutually convenient time.

Our Services - Parents

Completing forms and paperwork
I’ll guide you through completing forms, applications, and reports, ensuring your child’s needs are clearly represented.
If you would like I can also help with returning the paperwork, giving you peace of mind that everything has been carefully taken care of.
Guidance Through the EHCP Process
Starting or progressing through the Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessment process can feel daunting, with strict deadlines and complex paperwork. I can guide you through each step - from the initial request for assessment to drafting parental advice and preparing for meetings - making sure your child’s needs are clearly represented. With my knowledge and experience working alongside families and schools, I’ll help you feel informed, confident, and supported throughout the journey.
If you would like me to read through any professional reports ahead of our meeting, I can review up to three in advance. This helps us make the best use of our time together and ensures I have a good understanding of your child’s needs before we meet. The cost is £25 per report.
Together, we’ll talk through your concerns, your child’s needs, and the outcomes you’d like to see for them. This way, you can go into the meeting feeling prepared, confident, and ready to ensure your child’s voice and your views are heard.
