SEN Solicitors Sunderland
From our offices in and around Sunderland, we provide comprehensive legal support for families across the North East dealing with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Our services are typically delivered remotely—via phone, Skype, email, or post—so there’s no need to visit us in person unless you prefer to do so.
Our dedicated SEN solicitors are highly experienced, knowledgeable, and committed to helping families navigate the complexities of education law. We can assist if your child needs support with:
- Understanding and comprehension
- Behavioural challenges
- Concentration difficulties
- Hearing or other sensory impairments
- Physical disabilities
- Literacy (reading and writing)
- Social development
The SEN process involves identifying and monitoring the additional support a child or young person requires. A designated individual is responsible for overseeing this support plan.
Parents or guardians should be actively involved in planning and decision-making. Progress reports must be provided at least three times a year and should include the names of those responsible, the support measures in place, and how outcomes will be tracked and assessed.
If you suspect your child may have special educational needs, it’s important to seek legal advice early. Our Sunderland-based Education Law Solicitors have extensive experience advocating for children with SEN and challenging decisions made by local authorities through appeals and tribunals.
While many families may not immediately think of involving a solicitor, legal expertise can make a significant difference—offering tailored advice, guidance on accessing educational support, and insight into the often complex procedures surrounding education funding.
To speak with one of our SEN specialists, please call 0333 202 7175, or fill out our online form and a member of our team will get in touch.
