Parent Advocacy

Parent Advocacy for UK Parents

Clear, calm guidance for navigating SEND, EHCP, school issues, exclusions, safeguarding concerns, and local authority processes — without overwhelm.

Raising a child with additional needs in the UK education system can feel confusing, exhausting, and isolating. You’re asked to understand laws, deadlines, policies, and procedures that were never explained in plain English.

You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

My Parent Advocacy service provides simple, practical, supportive guidance to help you understand your rights, prepare for meetings, write effective letters, and confidently speak up for your child.

I help you navigate:

What I Support With

  • EHCP requests, reviews, and refusals
  • SEN Support and unmet needs in school
  • Illegal exclusions & unlawful part-time timetables
  • Behaviour concerns linked to additional needs
  • Preparing for school meetings with scripts
  • Escalating complaints when school won’t listen
  • Preparing for SEND Tribunal
  • Understanding social services involvement (Section 17/47)
  • Early Help clarity
  • Writing chronologies and documenting concerns

If it affects your child’s education, safety, wellbeing, or rights — I can help you understand the process and take the next steps calmly and clearly.
