i have experience

I have real world experience of navigating the EHCP system and helping dozens of families achieve a better educational outcome for their children, young people or SEN Adults.

I have passion

My personal journey has led me to help other parents to advocate effectively for their loved ones. It’s really not easy! But I will share all my experience, tenacity and passion to empower you to keep fighting and win an outcome that’s right for your family.

I get results

You can see from my multiple testimonials that my clients achieve their objectives, in such a way as I support them every step of the way. I’m very proud to say that I’ve got a very high success rate and there are many children in SEN placements now who are happy due to my involvement with their cases. And even better this means those families are happier and more resilient moving forward.

I never charge my SEN clients until I’ve had a free chat with them to see if I can really make a difference to their case. My SEN clients are more than clients to me, I have an adopted high needs SEN son that I have been advocating for the past 11 years so helping other SEN families get the outcome that they need and deserve is my passion, you are my tribe and this is my way of giving back and helping more SEN children thrive and not just survive.

For an idea for budgeting – SEN consulting starts at £75 for a 90 minutes – However it is best to book a free 30 minute call and I can discuss your bespoke needs and provide a quote for your case.

I never charge until I know I can help with your SEN case.

What My Clients think...

Your service gave me a choice about your level of support so I could access your help even when I couldn't quite afford the whole package. I chose a report on my daughters EHCP and a private consultation after you had completed your report. The hour consultation was concise strategies to move my daughters situation forward. I have worked in education for 20 years yet I did not fully understand what an EHCP is meant to deliver. With your clear and understandable description of how I can re-write her EHCP, I now believe that if local authority accept my proposed changes, my daughter will have a supportive, individualised and proactive plan. Thank you Wendy, for your knowledge and compassion.

Wendy helped me to navigate the complicated EHCP process, her extensive knowledge and understanding of the logistics and laws surrounding EHCP enabled me to make sure the LA fully understood and acknowledged my child's needs. As I am also autistic Wendy enabled me to stay organised in this process, and on top of the extensive amount of work necessary, and, she did it all with empathy and a smile

Having hired Wendy for the tribunal of our son’s EHCP, I felt an instant relief that she was on hand to advise. I was instantly struck by Wendy's ability to get down to understanding our case, devising a workable plan and the knowledgeable perspective she could give me from day one. Wendy obviously works very hard and I have found her services and support to be invaluable at this very tough time. Thank goodness for people like Wendy, she provides a safe space to communicate the issues a SEN family comes up against. I also consider what she charges as very reasonable considering the time and attention she puts into her cases.

Since having our sessions with Wendy we have felt so much more informed and empowered about our son’s EHCP and all his rights that come with it. She is hugely personable, put us at ease and helped us enormously with coping strategies for the day to day stresses of life with a child who has SEN and the faulty system that comes with it. She has huge knowledge of the whole SEN system and all that’s comes with it and has firsthand experience of it all so is able to understand, nurture and empathise. Wendy is so genuinely caring and has checked in on our progress and our well being throughout and we have both felt so supported, understood and guided throughout our journey. Thank you Wendy.
