School & SEND Advocacy
Helping families be heard. Helping children get the support they need.
Our advocacy is delivered entirely online to families across England. When school isn't working for your child, you shouldn't have to manage every difficult conversation alone. We offer practical, compassionate advocacy, including communicating with schools and local authorities on your behalf, with your permission.
Your child does not need an EHCP for you to ask us for support.

Practical advocacy
Real support, beyond advice

SEN support & adjustments
Helping families raise concerns about unmet needs, SEN Support, reasonable adjustments and access to education.
Attendance & difficult decisions
Support with EBSA, attendance concerns, suspensions, exclusions and discussions about missing provision.
Your voice matters
Someone in your corner
Sometimes one email resolves an issue. Sometimes it takes weeks of discussion and follow-up. Every family is different, so our advocacy is flexible rather than tied to a fixed number of emails or meetings.
With your written authority, we can contact schools, local authorities and relevant professionals directly, while keeping you informed and involved in decisions.
Support may include
- Reviewing relevant documents and correspondence
- Writing and responding to emails
- Speaking with parents and professionals
- Preparing for and attending online meetings
- Following up when actions are outstanding
- Explaining options and next steps

Document reading, calls, correspondence, meeting preparation and attendance count towards package hours. No extra work is charged without agreement.
If we've supported your family before, we may be able to offer a lower quote because we already know your case and have completed some of the necessary work. You will not be charged again for work already completed.
We do not offer in-person attendance or travel. Complex tribunal work is quoted separately.

Questions families often ask
Does my child need an EHCP?
No. We can support families with school-based SEND concerns whether or not their child has an EHCP.
Can you email the school for me?
Yes. With your permission and appropriate written authority, we can communicate with the school or local authority on your behalf.
Can you attend a school meeting?
We can attend online meetings as part of agreed advocacy time. We do not offer in-person meetings or travel.
What if my situation needs more than the package hours?
We'll let you know before your agreed hours are used up. Any further support is optional and agreed in advance.
What if I need an EHCP appeal?
We can discuss your situation and whether a separate EHCP or appeal support service would be more suitable.
Here when you need support
You don't have to manage it all alone.
