About SEND Advocacy
Your child deserves the chance to achieve their learning potential and the opportunity to thrive in an educational environment that’s right for them. We work with families of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to secure the correct provision and education to which they are legally entitled. Together, we can help you access the life-changing support that your child needs to flourish.

“I set up SEND Advocacy to use my professional expertise and personal experience to support families in removing barriers to education for children and young people with SEND. If you are struggling with the SEND system, or want independent and impartial advice, then contact us today”.
