Special Educational Needs (SEN) Advocacy Services for Parents

If you’re the parent or carer of a child with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), navigating the education system can feel overwhelming. Our education advocacy services are designed to help you understand your rights, challenge unfair decisions, and secure the support your child needs to thrive.

We provide advice, case preparation, negotiation, and representation at Local Authority panels and SEND Tribunals (First-tier Tribunal – Special Educational Needs and Disability), helping families across England—including London—get results.
