SOS Special Educational Needs

General information

Led by Eleanor Wright - SEN Solicitor

We concentrate on helping parents/carers to find their way through the legal and procedural maze.

Our aim is to empower parents with information and knowledge to become confident to tackle the obstacles and difficulties that arise when seeking the right education for their children with special needs. That way, when the child's needs changes or new provision is necessary for them, parents will be confident enough to respond without consulting expensive solicitors.

We empower parents through:

1) workshops on different areas of the special needs procedures.

2) 1:1 advice sessions.

3) term- time helpline

4) Advice Centres
