The right document, exactly when you need it.

A complete library of SEND templates, plain-English guides, checklists and reference documents, organised by situation, so you find what you need in minutes instead of hours.

An open notebook with the word 'Notes' written, a fountain pen and reading glasses on a warm wooden desk, suggesting calm planning and clarity.

Every document here is written the way you would actually say it, not the way a form makes you say it. Pick the situation that sounds like yours, and you will find a letter or guide that is already filled with the right words. Change the parts about your child, and it is ready to send.

Guides, Templates and Reference Materials

Asking for an EHCP

An EHCP is an Education, Health and Care Plan. It is a legal document that sets out the help your child must get at school. These letters help you ask your council for one, reply to them, and get ready for the yearly check-up of the plan.

Talking to your child's school

Clear letters for the people at school, including the SENCO (the teacher in charge of extra help). Use them to ask for more support, to question a decision you think is unfair, or to call a meeting when something is not working.

If you are told no

Being refused is not the end. If your council says no to an assessment or a plan, these documents help you ask them to look again, gather the right proof, and get ready to take it to an independent panel that can overturn the decision.

Health and care support

Letters to ask for help from a doctor, a speech therapist, or a children's mental health team (often called CAMHS). Also includes plain guides to money and care support your family may be able to claim.

Guides for parents

Short, friendly explainers that walk you through how the whole system works, what your rights are, and the dates and deadlines you do not want to miss. No legal background needed.

Word list

The SEND world is full of letters and short words that no one stops to explain. This is a simple A to Z that tells you what each one means in everyday language, so a letter never leaves you guessing.
