Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal representation

The Special Educational Needs Tribunal and Disability Tribunal (SEND) is designed to enable parents to conduct their own case. However, many parents find this extremely difficult, particularly at a time when they are emotionally vulnerable.

While the tribunal hearing is designed to be informal, the process leading up to it can be quite legalistic and inflexible and requires a great deal of preparation

We can provide you with a full package of support to take you through the tribunal process. If you prefer to appeal against your child’s statement of special educational needs yourself, we can advise you on the procedures and whether you need any additional reports on your child and put you in touch with appropriate experts, who are experienced not just in your child’s specific disability but also in giving evidence at tribunal hearings.

We can also present your case on your behalf at the hearing. We are able to represent parents in any part of England or Wales.

Over the last five years, we have obtained independent educational provision worth over £18 million on behalf of over 100 children as well as helping many other parents to successfully appeal at tribunals to obtain the education their children needed.
