Helen Gifford Consulting

Helen Gifford Consulting Independent consultancy advising and supporting parents and schools with Education, Health and Care

Friendly and approachable consultant with over 10 years experience working in an SEN Team in a local authority. My aim is to help parents avoid and resolve disputes with the local authority over EHC and Statements, and to help schools cope with the new EHC Plan system. Initial telephone or email consultation at no charge where we can discuss whether I am able to be of help. If I can be of help, I charge £50 an hour for most work, with fixed prices available for various pieces of work as detailed on my website.

I am sorry to say that Helen Gifford Consulting is closing permanently. I just can't work out a way to squeeze this in alongside caring for my family members any longer. So, rather than carry on doing everything badly and feeling terrible about it, I have decided to pull back and concentrate on my parents and husband for now.

For EHCP support, there are some splendid alternatives out there such as Send and Beyond Ltd , SEND Consultancy HUB and Educational Equality.

I might be back (and I will keep on lobbying to stop the insane proposed changes to EHCPs) but for now, thank you everyone. I have had a brilliant nearly 10 years doing this and will be forever grateful for all my clients and all the reasonable practitioners.
