Expert EHCP Help for Parents Who’ve Had Enough

Tired of councils fobbing you off? We fight back — and we win.

Navigating the EHCP process can feel like being trapped in a maze with no map. The council sets the rules, the clock is ticking, and families are left overwhelmed by jargon, delays, and uncertainty while their child misses out on vital support. At Little Nellie's, we cut through the confusion. We specialise in expert EHCP appeal support, drafting thorough EHCP reviews, SEND Tribunal representation, and mediation with local authorities. Whether you’re challenging a refusal to assess, strengthening a weak EHCP, or fighting for the right school placement, we make the process clear, straightforward, and impossible for the council to ignore.

Who We Support

We work with families across England at every stage of the EHCP and SEND process. Whether you are just beginning to seek support for your child or facing a formal dispute with your local authority, our role is to provide structured, legally grounded guidance that reflects where you are now.

We regularly support parents who are:

  • Applying for an EHCP for the first time

  • Challenging a refusal to assess or issue a plan

  • Responding to a draft EHCP within the 15-day window

  • Preparing for SEND mediation

  • Appealing to the SEND Tribunal

 

By offering stage-specific support, we ensure families receive clear advice that matches their current position in the statutory process - reducing overwhelm and improving clarity about next steps.

 

Why Choose Little Nellie's

Little Nellies works exclusively in EHCP and SEND advocacy. We do not offer general legal services or adult social care support - our focus is entirely on helping families navigate the statutory education framework in England.

Our work is grounded in the Children and Families Act 2014, the SEND Regulations 2014 and the SEND Code of Practice. We structure every case around statutory duties and evidence, not opinion or pressure.

All support is fixed-fee and clearly scoped. You know what stage you are addressing, what the service includes, and what the next steps involve.

Above all, our approach is calm and structured. We bring clarity to complex processes, helping families move forward with confidence rather than uncertainty.
