and Miranda is much more"

SEN Consultancy aims to help
empower parents to get the right support for their child who has or may have
special educational needs (SEN).
We do this by:
Separating
the truths from the myths regarding school's obligations.
We help
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.
We guide
parents in applying for an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) if the
child's/young person's school/college will not apply.
We assist
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.
We read
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.
We support
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.
