How we work together - Individual case work

Vintage Compass Closeup

SEND  Compass                                                                                                                                               £497
Know where you are.  Know where you're going.

Whether you're just finding your feet or already deep in a process that isn't going the way it should, The Compass gives you focused, expert support at a critical point in your child's journey.

What your Compass package can include: 

  • Two consultations, legally informed and specific to your child's situation, building a clear picture of where you are, what the system is required to do, and how to move forward effectively

  • Review of up to two key documents, with honest, expert analysis of what they say, what they don't say, what's missing that should be there, and what all of that means for your child

  • A written action plan with prioritised next steps, practical communication guidance, and the tools to have the conversations ahead with clarity and confidence

 

Who is this for?

  • Families who know something isn't right but aren't sure what to do next

  • Parents who've been given a response that doesn't feel adequate  - or given nothing at all

  • Anyone who needs expert support to understand their child's situation and take the right next step

 

If your situation needs more sustained support, we'll talk about what that looks like.

SEND Orienteer                                                                                                                                            £1,197
Two steps ahead every time.
 

Some situations need more than clarity and a plan, they need active, expert involvement in the process itself. The Orienteer is for families who are managing something complex and need an expert who is genuinely engaged in the detail, in the process, and in their corner throughout.

What your Orienteer package can include:

  • Two consultations, legally informed and built around your child's specific situation.  Tracking where you are, responding to developments, and keeping the path forward clear

  • Review or completion of up to two key documents; assessments, referrals, requests, correspondence - with expert input on content, framing, and what needs to be said

  • Email correspondence between sessions to keep things moving and ensure nothing falls through the gaps

  • Practical coaching on how to communicate effectively with schools and professionals so that when this process ends, you have the skills and confidence to hold the system to account independently

  • Executive Function Skills development: practical, targeted support to help you manage the cognitive and organisational demands of advocacy

 

Who is this for?

  • Families managing a serious or complex SEND situation that needs active expert involvement

  • Parents who are in a process that has been going wrong for some time and need someone who can work through the detail with them

  • Anyone who needs more than guidance and wants to come out the other side genuinely equipped to navigate what comes next on their own terms

 

If your situation needs ongoing retained support, we'll talk about what that looks like.
