Information, not legal advice
Our checker and response letter apply public, official standards — the Children and Families Act 2014, the SEND Regulations 2014 and the SEND Code of Practice 2015 — to the text you provide. The result is information and a template response. It is not legal advice, it is not advocacy, and using it does not make us your representatives.
No guarantees
We cannot and do not guarantee that:
- a local authority will accept any amendment;
- a plan will be changed;
- any appeal or tribunal will succeed;
- our analysis captures every issue in every document.
Local authority decisions are theirs. Your appeal rights are separate and unaffected by anything we produce.
You must review before sending
Our letters are drafts for you to check. You know your child; the software only knows the text you gave it. Never send a letter you have not read and agreed with.
