Special Education Law & Legal Advice for UK

When searching for a legal advisor, I believe it is important to instruct someone who has both the professional expertise and personal experience, to assist you in securing the correct educational support for your child.

As both a professional working within the field of UK education law, and as a parent of a son with special educational needs, I understand the pressures that parents experience on a daily basis.

I am here to ensure that your child receives the special educational provision that they require.

Tribunal Appeals

Tribunal Appeals

Sometimes it is not possible to reach an agreement with your Local Education Authority (LEA) regarding your child's special educational needs (England) or additional learning needs (Wales).  At these times your right of Appeal to The First-Tier Tribunal (HESC) (England), Special Educational Needs Tribunal for Wales (SENTW), or Education Tribunal for Wales (Wales) may be the only option available to you.
