The council has a case. We build you a stronger one.
We prepare and argue SEND tribunal appeals for parents across England. Our prices are published in full on this site, so you know where you stand before you ever speak to us.
Which letter did the council send you?
Every appeal starts with a decision letter from the council. Find yours below; the price for that appeal is shown with it.

Book a free callThe council has said no to an EHC needs assessment before one has even started.
“We have decided not to proceed with an EHC needs assessment.”
The assessment has happened, and the council has decided not to issue an EHC plan.
“Having completed the assessment, we have decided not to issue an EHC plan.”
An EHC plan exists, but Sections B and F don't properly describe your child's needs or the support they get.
The dispute here is usually the plan itself, not a letter: vague wording like “access to” or “as required” in Section F is the tell.
The council has named a school you don't agree with, or left Section I empty.
The dispute is usually Section I of the plan itself: the wrong school named, or none named at all.
The fight reaches beyond education into the health and social care provision written into the plan.
This runs alongside an education appeal: the tell is a dispute over Sections G and H of the plan, not a separate letter.
Casework prices, VAT included. Hearing-day advocacy from £1,800 incl. VAT. If your case combines more than one of these, you pay the higher price, not both. The full schedule is on the fees page.

How it works
