At SEN Consultancy we aim to to help empower parents to get the right support for their child who has or may have special educational needs (SEN).
This is achieved by:
Helping parents to understand and clarify the "must" and "should" for schools and local authorities related to the Children and Family Act (2014) and SEN Code of Practice (2015), so they know what is law and what is local policy.
Guiding parents in applying for an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) if the child's/young person's school/college will not apply.
Assisting parents in completing applications to the First-tier Tribunal if the local authority has chosen not to assess for an EHCP, refuses to issue a plan after an assessment, refuses to make changes to a plan, or names a school not of your choice.
Reading through draft EHCPs to make sure that they conform to the law; ensure unlawful words are removed. We make sure that all contents and strategies from assessments and reports are included in a child/young person's plan.
Supporting parents in meetings with other professionals to allow parents to be the voice of their child; therefore, enabling parents to get the correct support in schools and colleges.
Supporting parents/carers filling in the application form and appealing for Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
