Support for Every Stage of the Journey
Whether you’re just starting to wonder if your child might need extra support, or you’re knee-deep in an ongoing battle with the local authority, Canary SEND is here to help you plan, act, and move forward with confidence.
I work with families at all stages — from the very first signs of school not working, through formal processes like EHC needs assessments, to appeals and long-term planning. Every service is designed to meet you where you are now, and to adapt as things change.
Ways We Can Help
1. Getting Started
For families at the very beginning — or those who feel completely lost and want to get organised fast.
We’ll work together to:
Get clear on your child’s needs and what’s not working right now.
Map out your options so you know what steps to take first.
Gather key evidence and documents so nothing gets missed later.
You’ll leave with a clear plan and the confidence to start taking action.
2. Ongoing Casework & Advocacy
For families who want support throughout the process. This can include:
Preparing letters and requests to school or the local authority.
Attending meetings with you (online or in person where possible).
Reviewing and strengthening documents like EHC needs assessment requests, draft EHCPs, or provision maps.
Keeping track of deadlines and making sure opportunities aren’t missed.
3. Strategic Reviews
A one-off, in-depth look at your current situation and documents.
Perfect if you want:
A second opinion on an EHCP, refusal to assess, or other LA decision.
Guidance before submitting an appeal.
Clarity on whether the support you’re being offered is lawful and appropriate.
4. Appeals & Tribunal Preparation
While I’m not a solicitor, I can prepare the strongest possible case and, if needed, work alongside specialist solicitors or barristers for the legal hearing stage. This means:
You get detailed preparation and strategic planning without paying solicitor rates for the whole journey.
Legal powers are brought in only when they’re truly needed.
Why Work This Way
I don’t clock-watch or itemise every single email. My pricing is fixed so you know exactly what you’re paying — and it reflects the hours of work, research, and preparation I put in behind the scenes.
This means I can focus on doing the job properly, not rushing to fit into a set time slot. When I take on a case, I fight for your family as if it were my own — because I can’t work any other way.
Pricing
I believe every family should be able to access the support they need — without nasty surprises, hidden charges, or paying for things they don’t use.
I’m currently finalising a clear, flexible pricing structure with:
Tiered packages for different levels of support.
One-off options for families who just need a short burst of help.
Ongoing support plans for those who want someone alongside them from start to finish.
This approach means you’ll be able to choose a level of input that fits your needs and your budget — without sacrificing quality.
Prices will be published here very soon. In the meantime, if you’d like to explore working together, please get in touch for an initial conversation and a transparent quote.
