. I wanted to let you know that I am no longer taking on any new clients for diagnostic assessments. My illness last year has made me reevaluate how I want to spend my time and I’m moving out of the SEN sector.

I just wanted to thank everyone on here as well as those who I’ve met in person and had the pleasure of helping navigate the system to obtain the support that was needed.

Are you a parent or carer of a child with an EHC plan?

We have a few places left on our ‘EHC plan masterclass’ training day (run virtually on Zoom) on 12 September - for families who already have an EHC plan in place.

From looking at the information a plan should contain, through to how to achieve that through annual reviews, re-assessments and appeals to the SEND Tribunal, this training day will help you navigate the system, supporting you to make informed and positive decisions regarding your child’s education.

To book, visit: https://buff.ly/47FAR4y

Places are £65.

Thanks to a donation from The Prince of Wales's Charitable Fund, we have funding available on some of our training sessions for parents and carers who cannot access a full cost place. See individual training session pages for details on whether this is available.

They found some difficulties in the system..,,

We’ve explored the educational experiences of young people in England with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

Young people aged 11 to 16 years, their parents, carers and education staff share their thoughts.

Findings from the research include:

▪️ many young participants we spoke to recognised and reflected on their own needs, identity and contexts, as well the needs of others
▪️ young people reported feeling frustrated when their educational support needs were unmet
▪️ good communication and relationships between staff and pupils and their families were said to have a positive impact on young people's experiences at school
