💜 VM SEN Consultancy

Independent SEND Guidance & Parent Support

Navigating the SEND system can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone.

VM SEN Consultancy provides independent, practical and personalised guidance to parents and carers seeking appropriate support for their children.

Services include educational SEN Support guidance, helping families understand school responsibilities, prepare for SENCo meetings, review existing provision and advocate for appropriate adjustments and support, with or without an EHCP.

I also offer EHCP application guidance, including evidence gathering, document reviews and preparation of parental contributions, alongside Disability Living Allowance (DLA) application and renewal support, covering both care and mobility needs.

My approach is supportive, transparent and tailored to each family's individual circumstances. Whether you need a quick question answered or more comprehensive assistance, I aim to help you understand your options and move forward with confidence.

🌿 Free initial 30-minute consultations are available, with affordable hourly rates and clearly agreed package prices for more extensive support.

💜 Experience, Professional Standards & Confidentiality

At VM SEN Consultancy, I combine professional experience in education and supporting children with additional needs with first-hand experience as a parent navigating the SEND system.

I hold Level 3 qualifications in Early Years Education and Teaching Assistance, alongside training in safeguarding, autism and additional needs. I am also undertaking IPSEA Level 1 SEN Law training to further develop my knowledge of SEND legislation and statutory processes.

As a parent of neurodivergent children, I have personal experience navigating SEN Support, EHCP applications, educational provision, DLA applications and communication with schools and local authorities. This gives me an understanding of both the practical processes and the challenges families can encounter.

Your privacy and confidentiality are important. I am registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and follow data protection procedures to ensure personal information and sensitive documentation are handled securely and responsibly.

I also recognise the importance of appropriate professional indemnity and public liability insurance, ensuring that my consultancy operates within its agreed professional scope.

My aim is to provide families with knowledgeable, compassionate and practical support, combining professional understanding with genuine lived experience.

Independent guidance • Professional responsibility • Understanding through experience 💜
