What Our Clients Say
What parents say:
"The support we received was exceptional, no ask was silly and we felt listened too. Complex information was explained clearly, and we felt empowered to make informed decisions about our child's education. We secured the right provision without needing to go all the way to tribunal and settled at a case management
hearing"
What Schools say:
"The SEND audit provided practical, realistic recommendations that strengthened our provision and improved our systems.
The report was comprehensive and easy to implement, we are inviting SEND solutions back in the spring for a review and revision via a CPD day"
What authorities say:
"An excellent understanding of both operational delivery and strategic improvement. Support was delivered efficiently, professionally and with a strong focus on compliance and quality. Our backlog was small but impacting our data and impact on families, from point of allocation to finish was 3 months to go from week 6-20 on 500 plans and all plans were put through Invision 360 and come out with good ratings. The team blended in with our existing team and was easier than outsourcing"

Parent Feedback
"Before working with SEND solutions, we felt completely lost. Every step of the
process was explained clearly, and we always knew what our options were. The
support gave us confidence and ensured our childs needs remained at the centre of
every conversation"
Outcome
As a result of the support provided:
The family felt informed and confident throughout the process.
Evidence was collated effectively and presented clearly.
The childs needs were accurately reflected within statutory documentation.
Appropriate provision was identified to support educational progress and
wider development.
Relationships between the family and professionals improved through clearer
communication and shared understanding.
Our Approach
SEND solutions provided tailored support throughout the process, including:
Reviewing existing educational and professional reports.
Advising on evidence required to support an EHC Needs Assessment
request.
Supporting communication with professionals and the school.
Preparing the family for meetings and explaining statutory processes.
Providing guidance on SEND legislation and the SEND Code of Practice.
Reviewing draft documentation and making recommendations to strengthen
proposed provision.
The Challenge
The family faced several challenges:
Limited understanding of the Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment
(EHCNA) process.
Difficulty gathering and presenting evidence of need.
Concerns that existing support was insufficient to meet their childs needs.
Anxiety around meetings with professionals and understanding their legal
rights.
A desire to secure appropriate provision that would enable their child to
access education successfully.
Background
A family approached SEND solutions feeling overwhelmed by the SEND system.
Their primary-aged child was experiencing significant difficulties with communication,
emotional regulation and access to learning. Despite repeated requests for additional
support, the parents felt their concerns were not being fully understood and were
unsure how to progress matters appropriately. They had approached SENDIAS and
an advocacy local to them.
Parents
Do I need a diagnosis for my child to receive SEND support?
No. Support should be based on identified needs rather than diagnosis.
Can you attend meetings with me?
Yes, advocacy and meeting attendance are available.
Can you support with some aspects of a tribunal and not the whole thing?
Yes we can. You will be assigned an experienced consultant if not Tia who will walk with you side by side the elements you assign us too, with transparent pricing from
the beginning.
Will you just look at my EHCP draft and return it with comments for me to send
back to the LA?
Of course. We understand the tight turn around for this so we can get this done in48hours for you.
Can you source an EP or SALT assessment for me?
Yes, we are well connected and can often get you the best rates.
Local Authorities
Can you help with EHCP backlogs?
Yes, both short-term and long-term capacity support is available. We have supported as small as 150 EHCPs to 2000 EHCPs. We are more affordable and less complicated than big agencies, with more experienced case officers.
Can you support in recruitment?
Yes we can, for both interim and permanent?
Can you lead the new Experts at hand roll out?
Yes we can, and already doing this for a local authority. Much more affordable than
high cost day rates via agencies.
Can you review our strategic plans and sit in on board meetings?
Yes we can.
Can you support on our complex case work, like CME, EBSA and s19?
Yes, we have skilled officers to complete all affiliated casework.
Schools
Can training be delivered on INSET days?
Yes, both half-day, twilight and full-day packages are available.
Will you come on site and see our children we are concerned about?
Of course, we can also offer specialist teacher assessments.
With the senco advice line, can we just buy into that element for the year?
Yes you can.
