Expert School Level SEN Guidance, Including EHCPs
From writing to implementation, we can train, advise or review your EHCP process in school.
Expert Talks and Practical SEN Expertise with EHCP Insights for Schools
At SENDCO Solutions, we specialise in offering insightful talks and translating complex legal frameworks, such as the Children and Families Act 2014 and the Equalities Act 2010, into everyday language. Our practical guidance makes statutory requirements easy to understand, using real-world examples to support schools, professionals, and SENCOs involved in the EHCP process.
Note: We help and advise schools, at this time we do not have the capacity to support parents making EHCP applications.
Training sessions are tailored to meet the needs of your school or setting and can focus on helping staff write, review or implement Education Health and Care Plans. The session can be for SENCOs, head teachers and CEOs, and can range from 1-hour CPD overviews to full-day workshops with supporting materials.

-
How to write an effective EHCP that meets legal and educational standards

Why Our EHCP Training Matters
Schools are expected to deliver the provision written in EHCPs. Poorly written EHCPs, or those that are out of date, can cause legal and operational difficulties for schools. This training helps ensure schools understand the process and meet their legal duties, while improving outcomes for pupils.
Having worked closely with a SEN legal solicitor for the last four years, some of that legal know-how has definitely rubbed off on Abigail — she brings a practical, legally-informed perspective that ensures schools aren’t just ticking boxes, but actually safeguarding themselves and their pupils.

Really helpful breakdown of law, including practical activities and relevant examples for practice. Use of real questions as case study engaging and useful.
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!
