How we can help
We provide a range of services and advice to parents and carers of children and young people with SEND.
We aim to help parents and carers to understand more about their children’s entitlements, and navigate the processes to secure the right educational provision.
Securing the right provision to meet needs can be extremely daunting and complex to families already struggling to care for children with high levels of educational need and disabilities. They need advice on how to work with their LA and how best to respond appropriately to what can seem an overwhelming amount of legal processes and policies that they have little experience or knowledge of.
We provide a range of accessible services to parents, delivered by trained volunteers, with all advice underpinned by current legislation, regulation and the SEND Code of Practice 2015.
We are in good hands at SOS!SEN. The volunteer advisors have unparalleled knowledge of the rights of SEN children. At a time when people were telling us to accept whatever the Local Authority gives us and be grateful to have any support, SOS!SEN were on our side and ensured that we were equipped with every bit of knowledge necessary.
Take a look at the variety of ways to get advice and information. If your situation is urgent, try and give us a call on the Helpline where we can give you advice on immediate next steps. It can get busy but we are there to help you.
Please note that, although we give advice and help on legal matters, we are not solicitors and cannot act as your solicitors. Please therefore do not suggest to your local authority or anyone else that we are acting in that capacity.
