SEND Advocacy and Support Services at Squared SEND

What We Offer

Specialist SEND Advocacy & Support for Families in England

Navigating the SEND system can feel overwhelming, time-consuming and emotionally draining. At Squared SEND Advocacy & Support, we provide clear, practical and legally informed SEND advocacy services to help parents and carers understand their rights and take confident steps forward.

We support families across Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) processes, SENDIST appeals, professional report analysis, and complaints, offering tailored guidance that puts your child’s needs at the centre of everything we do.

Our Approach

We offer independent SEND advocacy and advisory support, meaning:

• You receive honest, balanced advice based on legislation and evidence
• You are empowered to make informed decisions — not pressured into action
• Support is tailored to your circumstances, not a one-size-fits-all approach

Our role is to help you understand what should be happening, where processes fall short, and what reasonable next steps look like.

Who We Support

Our services are suitable for parents and carers who:

• Feel unsure whether processes are being followed correctly
• Want clarity before taking formal action
• Are overwhelmed by paperwork and professional language
• Need objective guidance grounded in SEND law and guidance

We work alongside families — not instead of them — helping you feel informed, prepared and supported.
