SEND Support Lancashire

SEND Tribunal Preparation Support

An education appeal can involve forms, reports, correspondence and important dates. We provide practical preparation support to help parents organise their papers and present their own information clearly.

Practical help, clearly scoped

Support with organising information, preparing documents and planning questions. We are not a regulated law firm and do not provide reserved legal services, regulated legal advice or legal representation.

Get the papers in order

We can help you create an index, arrange documents by date or topic, build a clear chronology and identify missing items you may want to obtain. Keeping a copy of everything sent and received can make the process easier to follow.

Prepare your own account

A focused summary can explain your child’s needs, what has happened, what you disagree with and what outcome you are asking the panel to consider. We can help organise and format information you provide, and prepare questions for you to consider. Any support is limited to non-reserved work and does not include appearing for you or conducting litigation.

Independent advice and representation

Tribunal rules and appeal rights depend on the circumstances and can be time-sensitive. If you need legal advice on your rights, a merits assessment or representation, contact a suitably regulated adviser or representative. We can offer practical document organisation alongside support from another provider. Related pages: draft EHCP review, Section F support and local authority disputes.
