Our aim
Is to help parents of children with special educational needs (0 to 16) and young people themselves with special educational needs (16 to 25) to find the right educational placement or provision to meet their needs.
How we help
- Help in applying for an Education, Health & Care Plan
- Ensure the needs, provision and outcomes in the EHC Plan meet the needs of the child
- Attend meetings, Annual Reviews and Transition meetings with parents and young people
- Assist parents of children (0 to 16) and young people (16 to 25) to take their case to a tribunal hearing when agreement can’t be reached
- Support parents and young people who have been excluded from school
We have a Committee of parents of children with special educational needs and interested professionals who meet six times a year to ensure the charity is meeting its aims and to develop the work of the charity.
What is special educational provision?
The Children and Families Act 2014 brought sweeping changes to how children (0 to 16) and young people’s needs are assessed and provided for. Children and young people will be provided with an Education, Health & Care Plan to meet their needs.
Are you aged 16-25?
Young people 16 to 25 can now represent themselves and we are able to help them find the provision that meets their needs. Parents still have the same right of appeal over provision or placement for their child.
