SEN Information Day for Parents in Devon

SEN Information Day for Parents – Coming to Devon

Following the huge success of our SEN Information Day in Bristol, we are delighted to announce that our next event will be taking place in Devon.

This one-day event is designed to equip parents and carers with the essential knowledge they need to understand the process of Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessments and plans. Whether you're just starting out or already navigating the system, the day will be packed with invaluable, practical advice.

What to Expect:
Our expert speakers will guide you through the EHC process from beginning to end, covering:

🧩 Requesting an EHC Needs Assessment – What should be included, how to write an effective application, and understanding what constitutes “additional” provision.

📄 Evidence Gathering & Legal Requirements – Understanding key regulations like SEN Regulation 6(1)(h), and what’s needed for a successful application.

🕒 Timescales and Draft Plans – What happens once the process begins, and how to interpret and respond to a draft plan.

📘 Understanding EHC Plans – Including a detailed look at Section B and F, how to ensure provision is specific and quantified, and what to expect in Section I.

🏫 Independent School Placements & Post-16 Support – Navigating placements and appeals.

⚖️ Extended Appeals & Tribunal Advice – Health and Social Care content in EHCPs, appeal types, timescales, and what to expect at tribunal.

🔁 Annual Reviews & Pre-Action – Know your rights and responsibilities when the process isn’t followed.

Why Attend?
You’ll leave feeling informed, empowered, and more confident in advocating for your child. Just take it from the feedback we received at our last event in Bristol:

💬 "Beverley remained accessible for one-to-one questions throughout the day. Extremely useful and generous with her time. Many thanks."
