EHCP support for parents across England
We understand how frustrating and relentless this process can feel: confusing advice, unclear answers, missed deadlines and decisions that do not reflect the evidence.
We know where it goes wrong, and we step in.
Whatever stage you are at, from starting an assessment to appealing a decision or pushing for the right provision, we bring the evidence together, spot what is missing, challenge what does not add up and prepare exactly what is needed, so your child’s EHCP does not get lost in delay.
We turn complexity into action, so you know what matters and what happens next.
You carry your child.
We carry the process.
Clear expert guidance at every stage
Find out whether your child is likely to meet the threshold, and what a strong first request needs to contain.
Start your applicationRefused an assessment, refused a plan, or waiting past the statutory deadline. We explain which challenge applies.
Understand the refusalVague provision, needs described too loosely, or the wrong school named. We identify what is unenforceable.
Review your EHCPIf it has reached this stage, you do not have to face it alone or pay for a solicitor to get it right.
Prepare for TribunalDoes this sound familiar?
You’re not being difficult.
You’re being a parent.
Every one of these situations has a legal response. You do not have to accept the answer you have been given.
Book a free 15-minute callIf a child's needs can't be met from the school's ordinary budget, the law says a needs assessment must be considered. This is not the local authority's call to make informally over the phone.
What the law actually saysThere is no legal "wait and see" stage. If you believe your child may need an EHCP, you can request a needs assessment at any time.
Request an assessment nowA refusal to assess, or delay beyond the statutory timescales, gives you the right to appeal - whether or not it's been put in writing the way they'd like.
Appeal the decisionProvision must be based on what your child needs, not on what a local authority has budgeted. Section F provision must be specific, quantified, and delivered regardless of resourcing arguments.
Challenge vague provisionThe local authority has a duty to gather evidence as part of the assessment. You are not required to fund private reports to get a fair hearing, though good evidence early on strengthens your case considerably.
How evidence works
Natalie Denton
Founder, EHCP Help
Meet your expert
When my child needed support, I found myself navigating delays, uncertainty and a system that was difficult to understand at exactly the point when I needed clarity most.
“The local authority were not proactive, transparent, or clear.”
SENCOs are under extraordinary pressure. Teachers are overloaded. Meanwhile, your child’s needs are not waiting.
I created EHCP Help to be the support I needed then: someone who understood both the emotional reality and the legal framework, who could make sense of the evidence, explain the options clearly, and help carry the complexity.
Today, we help parents move through the EHCP process with knowledge, structure and calm, so they can make informed decisions without having to become experts themselves.
Families we have helped
EHCP Help supported a parent facing Tribunal alone with a 400-page bundle, who worked through the evidence, identified the strongest arguments and prepared a parent statement that helped change the outcome.
After an amendment, the EHCP named specific hours, staff qualifications and environments for the first time, giving the family a plan they could hold the school to.
Anonymised case-study summaries. Details have been changed to protect privacy.
