Expert SEND Support for Schools and MATs – SENDCO Solutions
Making SEN Make Sense for Teachers and Educators
Expert SEN Support Tailored to Your School’s Unique Needs
As experts in SEND, SENDCO Solutions provides tailored support for schools and trusts looking to strengthen provision, improve practice, and create better outcomes for children and young people with SEND. Led by Abigail Hawkins FCCT, we combine reviews, training, consultancy, and long-term strategic support to help settings move forward with clarity and confidence.
We understand that no two schools approach SEND in exactly the same way. Leadership structures, staff confidence, pupil need, and existing provision can all vary widely, which is why our support is never based on a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, we work alongside schools and trusts to understand their context, identify priorities, and provide practical guidance that is relevant, realistic, and rooted in day-to-day school life.
Whether a setting needs an external review of current provision, focused staff development, SEND legal guidance, or a longer-term strategic partnership, our aim is always the same: to make SEND improvement clearer, more manageable, and more sustainable over time.

What Schools Say About Our Expertise in SEND
“Really really useful to hear the facts and documents to go back to. Love the workbook too.”
“Incredibly clear, useful and purposeful. Engaging, when law could be dry! Great to know clearly and with evidence what should and shouldn’t be happening and what we can challenge. Love the book rather than my usual scribbled notes. Thank you!”
“Very informative, pitched well. Abigail answered the questions thoughtfully and was attentive to the room. Thank you!”
