We advise clients during the process of obtaining a statutory assessment, and a statement of special educational needs.

Some clients arrive with us already having received a statement of special educational needs which they seek to improve or change the school named in the statement. Other clients have a statement which the authority/school is not following. We represent clients in all of these circumstances, with the aim to secure the appropriate educational support for the child.

Specialist legal advice is also given in Higher and Further Education matters, whether it be securing specialist provision or bringing complaints to Universities and appealing to the Office of Independent Adjudicator.
