Our most popular toolkits are now on the website!

We hear the same thing from parents every week: "I know something needs to change, but I don't know where to start."
That's exactly why we built these. Each toolkit takes the knowledge we use in our casework every day and puts it into plain English, step by step guidance you can use straight away.

🏠 EBSA Toolkit
If your child is struggling to attend school, this guide helps you understand what's happening, what the school and local authority should be doing, and how to push for the right support.

🌱 EOTAS Roadmap Toolkit
Thinking about education otherwise than at school? Everything you need to build your case: the legal framework, a proposal template, a costed provision map, letter templates and more.

📋 Annual Review Toolkit
The annual review is your chance to get the EHCP right. Know your rights, prepare properly and make sure the plan reflects your child's needs as they are now.
All written by a SEND specialist with 15 years' experience, so you're not left guessing.

📩 Your draft EHC plan has arrived. Now what?

Getting a draft EHC plan can feel like the finish line.

It isn't.

This is one of the most important stages of the whole process, and the window to act is short.

👉🏻What the draft should (and shouldn't) contain

Your child's draft plan should set out their special educational needs, any health and social care needs, the provision to meet each one, and the outcomes it should achieve. Your views, and your child's, should be properly recorded too.

What it should not include is the name or type of school or setting. Needs come first, then provision, then placement. Section I should only be filled in on the final plan.

👉🏻Your rights at this stage

Under section 38 of the Children and Families Act 2014 and Regulation 13 of the SEND Regulations 2014, your local authority must give you at least 15 days to:

✅ Comment on the draft (known as making representations)

✅ Ask for a meeting to discuss it; if you ask, the LA must meet you

✅ Request the school, college or setting you want named in the final plan

⏰ Watch the timescales

The final plan must be issued within 20 weeks of the original assessment request. To hit that, the draft should usually arrive by around week 14.

👉🏻Why checking matters

Vague wording like "access to" or "opportunities for" can't be enforced.
Missing needs mean missing provision.
Whatever goes into the final plan is what your child is legally entitled to, so getting the draft right now saves a fight later.

🔍 Let us check it for you 🔍

Our Draft EHCP Check gives you a clear, section by section review of your child's draft plan, highlighting what's missing, what's too vague, and exactly what to ask the LA to change, so you can respond with confidence before the deadline.

Is your child unable to attend school?

Perhaps you've been told they need to "just attend", that EOTAS is "impossible", or that the Local Authority simply won't fund it.

Yet every day I speak to families whose children are unable to access school due to their special educational needs, mental health, anxiety, trauma, or medical needs.

The problem is that most parents are left trying to navigate a complex legal process with little or no guidance.

Not every family can access advocacy, legal support or a solicitor.

That's why I've created the SENDHelp EOTAS Roadmap Pack

This isn't just a guide.

It's a complete practical toolkit designed to help you understand your rights, build your case, challenge refusals and navigate the process from first request through to Tribunal appeal if necessary.

Inside you'll find:

✅ A complete plain-English guide to EOTAS and the legal framework

✅ A fully completed EOTAS proposal example

✅ An editable EOTAS proposal template

✅ Completed SEND Tribunal grounds of appeal examples

✅ Editable appeal templates

✅ A fully costed EOTAS package template

✅ An 8-stage EOTAS roadmap and action plan

✅ Guidance on finding and commissioning tutors, therapists and specialist providers

✅ Ready-to-use email templates

Whether you're just starting to explore EOTAS or you're preparing for a SEND Tribunal appeal, this pack has been designed to give you the knowledge, tools and confidence to advocate for your child.

Another SEND Tribunal win secured this week. 💙

Every successful appeal represents more than just a legal victory.

It means a child is one step closer to receiving the education, support and provision they need to thrive.

Behind every appeal is a family who has spent months, sometimes years, fighting to be heard. The process can feel overwhelming, exhausting and incredibly isolating.

It is always a privilege to stand alongside parents, helping them navigate the SEND system and ensuring their child's needs are properly recognised.

If you're facing an appeal, struggling with an EHCP, or simply unsure what your next steps should be, I'm here to help.
