Your child has rights.
We help you fight
for them.

SEN Help is the UK’s verified directory of independent advocates, Educational Psychologists, and specialist therapists. Find the right expert, understand your rights, and hold your Local Authority to account.

Why SEN Help exists

The system is stretched. The law is on your side.

Getting the right support should not depend on how loudly you can fight for it. When you can see where you stand, know what the law says, and bring the right person into the room, everything changes.

718,000+children in England have an Education, Health and Care Plan, the highest number since the system began.
Fewer than halfof new plans are issued within the 20-week legal deadline.
Most parents winwhen they appeal to the SEND Tribunal. The law is stronger than it feels.
