reSEND

reSEND is an independent SEND advice, advocacy and support charity helping children, young people, parents and carers navigate the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) system.

It provides impartial, confidential and practical support throughout the Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) process — from making a new application and reviewing a draft plan, through to Annual Reviews, changes to provision and appeals.

It also provides SEN Tribunal support, helping families understand their rights and options, prepare appeals, review evidence and documentation, communicate with Local Authorities and, where needed, provide representation at Tribunal.

There usually charge a fee for their services but as a charity, these are generally more affordable that most providers. They also provides free information and resources on their website.
