For Social Care, Charity and Other Organisations
I support social care, charity and other organisations in handling the SEND law/ intercultural communication aspects of complex cases which may involve migrant families who have children with SEND.
I specialise in supporting migrant parents who commonly encounter intercultural barriers whilst trying to access educational, health and care systems to get their heads around how those systems operate in England. I can act as a parent advocate as well as provide consultancy and advice in all above-mentioned matters.
My bespoke training offer enables professionals to make meaningful, life-changing and legally compliant contributions to education, health and care need assessment or EHC plan reviews.
I support social care and charity organisations by:
offering direct support as an independent SEND consultant (you may be more familiar with the term 'advocate') to their beneficiaries, families who have children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) - see the full offer for families here
providing consultancy and advice in all matters related to the SEND law and intercultural communication
delivering bespoke trainings to staff (on SEND law, working with migrant families, neurodiversity, emotional regulation and mental health to name a few...)
