WALK-IN ADVICE CENTRES

Doyou want to talk to someone about your child’s special educational needs?Come to one of our three walk-in advice centres.

Get initial advice on how parents of children with SEN or disabilities can fight for their educational rights.

Talk to experienced educational and legal advisers.

Bring with you any useful documents (statements, letters from SEN officers, school reports, etc.). To make the best use of time available please organise them into date or other appropriate order.

Whilst no appointment is necessary, we might have to limit your consultation time with us to 15 or 20 minutes if a lot of people are waiting. We will also ask you to complete a short form when you arrive, to speed up the process.

No fee – although a donation is always welcome.
