I highly recommend Leanne at SEND Compass. She helped me review and amend my son's EHCP, which was missing important information about his needs and the support he requires at school. Leanne's knowledge and experience, having been through the EHCP process with her own children, really stood out. She was incredibly responsive, caring and understanding, and managed to get the amendments back to me before our tight deadline. At a really stressful and overwhelming time, Leanne took so much pressure off me and gave me confidence that my son's needs were being properly represented. We are grateful for her support and would highly recommend SEND Compass to any parent navigating the EHCP process.

Leanne stepped in to help us at quite short notice with an appeal. We felt in such good hands and everything arrived back to us ready to send. She really understood the position we were in and helped put us at ease with the process. We will be using Leanne again and again I'm sure.

Leanne has supported us several times over our journeys with EHCPs for our 4 children. She is not only knowledgeable but understanding and caring, having gone through it all with her own children. I would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of advice and/or support.

Can't recommend SEND Compass enough. Leanne is very knowledgeable, compassionate and supportive. She has both personal and professional experience so understands what it's like to be a SEND parent and the challenges we can face. I used the tribunal appeal service and our Local Authority conceded and agreed to assess after receiving our paperwork which Leanne helped to prepare.

Leanne was amazing from the get go. She provided me with all the information I needed as well as writing out the Tribunal paperwork and statement. When we got a no to assessment for my son I felt completely lost. Leanne not only was the loveliest person, she made me feel heard and understood — no request was too much and she truly went above and beyond!! We won first tier tribunal yesterday and got a yes to assessment thanks to Leanne's knowledge and input. Couldn't have done it without you!

Leanne is amazing. She knows what to say and how to say it. She supports you every step of the way and makes you feel confident in advocating for your child. She is super knowledgeable and her expert advice is invaluable. Going through the SEND system is stressful, isolating, time consuming and brutal but with support from Leanne you feel you can be a voice for your child and get the support you need. It's never not worth investing in support for your child and I would recommend Leanne to anyone.

Leanne is so knowledgeable, she helped me so much with my son's EHCP I wouldn't have been able to do it without her help and even after she is always happy to offer extra advice. Leanne is super friendly and so easy to talk to. I have already recommended Leanne to a friend and definitely recommend her 100%

Highly highly recommend Leanne! Leanne has recently helped me with my daughter's EHCP draft plan, she managed to squeeze us in in her very busy schedule and worked at the weekend to make sure we could get the draft sorted asap! Her work is incredible, she made excellent amendments and picked up many things I had missed. The report was returned to me promptly and very clear. Leanne was also on hand to answer my many many questions! I will most definitely use Leanne's services again and it's so nice to feel that you have someone so knowledgeable and empathetic on your side! Thanks Leanne, you are incredible!

I honestly can't recommend her enough. She checked through my son Archie's EHCP draft and took away so much of the anxiety and stress I was feeling about the whole process. Having someone knowledgeable go through everything properly, explain what needed changing and make sure Archie's needs and provision were clearly represented gave me so much reassurance and confidence moving forward. The EHCP process can feel incredibly overwhelming as a parent, especially when you're constantly having to advocate for your child, but having this support made such a huge difference to me. I felt listened to, supported and much more confident about what I needed to ask for. Thank you so much for all your help and for taking such a weight off my shoulders. I would absolutely recommend your service to any parent going through the EHCP process.

Leanne looked at my son's EHCP appeal and helped me through the appeal process all the way to court appeal which I won. Leanne was supportive, knowledgeable and passionate about helping. I cannot recommend her high enough. In a SEN system set up to block and make it hard for parents, Leanne is a godsend!

I don't know how I would've got through the last few weeks without the help of Leanne. I was doom scrolling as you do, I came across a SEND Compass post that I could really relate to. I made a comment of how much I was struggling. Leanne put on her superhero cape and came to the rescue. She has been amazing support for us helping with the LA. I was amazed with how much information had been left out from all the reports I've had done on my granddaughter. Most of these points were actually quite important — I needed them to be in her EHCP so that her new school will have complete understanding of how she works. It's a good job she does a checking service as a lot had been missed by the LA. I also like the way that Leanne sent an invoice explaining the costs so that you know exactly where you stand and her prices are very affordable. She's worth every penny and more. Her knowledge on the SEND system and the law is outstanding. It's been really lovely to have somebody that I can relate to because they have been through the same issues. It has actually been an uplifting experience and I would recommend to anybody who is having trouble with the local authority and EHCP to use this service — you will not be disappointed. It's been really lovely to feel heard and supported during this very stressful time. 100% recommend, 10 out of 10. Thank you so much.

I stumbled across Leanne's page just by chance but at a time where it was very much needed! I reached out to Leanne — not really expecting a reply if I'm honest — I just needed to offload and her page popped up at the right time. Leanne did reply and not only was she super friendly she was very knowledgeable and I felt like I was talking to someone who just got it. She understood how I was feeling, understood my frustrations and she understood my child's needs and could see how and why he was struggling. All the things I had in my head suddenly made sense — as mothers sometimes we know what we need to do but we doubt ourselves (every single day for me). Leanne made it all make sense and helped me take the steps needed to do the right thing by my child. For the first time in a long time I felt like someone else had my back and that I wasn't alone or going mad. I don't think Leanne will ever realise how invaluable her advice and support has been to me.

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for Leanne's help and knowledge with navigating the world of obtaining an EHCP. It's been an incredibly difficult journey for me and my son and I couldn't have done without her support throughout the process. Cannot recommend enough!!! Her professional knowledge and personal experience helped me more than I can articulate. Considering how difficult life can be in general, let alone with having to go through the process of obtaining an EHCP that actually works for my child with no prior knowledge of what makes a good EHCP to begin with. If you are contemplating whether you need someone to help you through this process, please contact Leanne as I honestly can't emphasise how brilliant her service is. I couldn't have gotten through this without her.
