I support families with EHCP annual reviews to make sure your child’s plan stays relevant, specific, and effective. This includes reviewing progress against existing targets, checking that provisions are being delivered, and ensuring any new needs are properly captured. I can help prepare reports, gather evidence, and guide you through meetings so your child continues to receive the support they deserve.

My fees are £30 per hour, reflecting the time, expertise, and care I put into supporting your family. The total cost may vary depending on the service, your child’s needs, and the amount of evidence involved. I aim to be transparent and fair, and I’m happy to provide a detailed breakdown or a personalised estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
