SEN Solicitors Expert legal advice to ensure your child has the support they need for their education. Unfortunately, the process of securing an EHCP for your child is not always straightforward. This can also be true when it comes to ensuring your child is provided with the support required by an ECHP.

At IBB Law, our specialist education law solicitors are highly experienced in helping parents and guardians in obtaining the EHCP, working with schools to achieve the right placement for the child and representing clients in the First Tier and Upper Tribunals when disputes arise with the Local Authority.

I carry out educational and psychological assessments across the full age range, from young children to adults. Assessments help to identify difficulties in learning and adjustment to learning situations, and thus enable advice to be given on the practical support which might be most appropriate.
We help children with a range of diagnosed developmental, motor, learning and/or behavioural conditions. We also help those who have not received an official diagnosis but for whom their difficulties and behaviours may relate to diagnosable conditions.
In addition, we help children who are experiencing difficulties coping with daily life at home, nursery or school, including those requiring additional support at school or an EHC plan (including assistance with tribunals).
