About us
About Us.
The SEN Advocate exists to make the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) journey clearer, calmer, and more effective for families. We stand beside parents and young people with practical guidance, compassionate support, and expert advocacy — whether you are applying for an EHCP, challenging decisions, or preparing for key meetings.
Our work is collaborative and outcomes-focused. We partner with families, schools, and Local Authorities to ensure every child receives the education, resources, and services they are entitled to.
Core Support
- EHCP support: applications, assessments, reviews, appeals, and annual reviews.
- School meetings: preparation and attendance to make sure your voice is heard.
- Dispute resolution: mediation, guidance, and SEND tribunal preparation.
- Resource navigation: understanding reports, assessments, and available services.
