Supportive solicitors to resolve SEN issues
Education Law

Access to an education is the right of every child. If your child has special educational needs (SEN), our specialist Education Law team serves to ensure that your child’s rights to an education are protected.
Our dedicated team can help you secure an EHC Needs Assessment, an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP – formerly known as a Statement of Special Educational Needs) and support you with appeals to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal (SENDIST).
