Get Ahead with Send Compass

When I check your child’s EHCP draft, I will 

• Review all sections of the plan against your child’s reports and assessments
• Ensure your child’s needs are fully and accurately described
• Check that the provisions are specific, measurable, and sufficient to meet those needs
• Spot any gaps, vague wording, or inconsistencies that could affect the support your child receives
• Provide clear feedback and suggestions so the plan is legally compliant and practical

Essentially, I make sure your child’s EHCP is robust, actionable, and ready to deliver the support they deserve.

Applying for an EHCP can feel overwhelming, but I’m here to guide you every step of the way. I help you:

• Gather and organise evidence about your child’s needs
• Complete the application accurately and clearly
• Understand the legal requirements and deadlines
• Communicate effectively with the school and local authority

My goal is to make the process simpler, less stressful, and more likely to succeed, ensuring your child has the right plan in place to access the support they need.

I support families through SENDIST tribunal appeals, including:

• Refusal to assess – when the local authority won’t consider an EHCP
• Refusal to issue – when an EHCP isn’t issued after assessment
• Content and placement appeals – challenging what’s in the EHCP or where your child is placed

I’ll guide you through every step of the process: preparing your case, gathering evidence, drafting submissions with relevant legislation, and completing tribunal forms. My goal is to give your child the best chance of getting the support and placement they need.

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.

I help families with Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Personal Independence Payment (PIP) applications for children and young people. This includes completing forms, gathering evidence, and writing supporting statements to clearly show your child’s needs. My goal is to give your application the best chance of success, so your child gets the financial support they are entitled to.

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.
