SEND Legal Advice Hub

Visit the SEND Legal Advice Hub, in partnership with IPSEA and SOS!SEN, to receive free and independent legal advice to help you navigate the SEND system and secure the education your child is entitled to.

Here are just some of the areas which will be covered:

• The legal duty of local authorities to identify and assess the special educational needs of children and young people
• How nurseries, schools and colleges should identify and support children and young people with SEN
• Information on how to ask for an EHC plan, what an EHC plan should contain, how to change an existing EHC plan, and how to challenge a local authority decision
• Guidance on exclusions from school or college, and information for families whose children are out of school due to school anxiety or lack of a school place
• Getting the right school or college setting for your child
• The duties of local authorities towards some children and young people who require home to school transport
• Signposting for further advice and information
