The channel responds to real concerns raised by families, offering clear, practical guidance on issues such as EHCP assessments, amendments, appeals and phase transfers. Each video focuses on explaining what parents need to know, what options may be available, and when it may be helpful to seek specialist advice.

The first video features Beverley Watkins, Managing Partner at Watkins Solicitors, answering a parent’s question about what to do if a late amended Education, Health and Care Plan is issued for a September 2025 phase transfer, particularly where an appeal has already been lodged. The question is put to Beverley by Sophia Beekmann, Family and Education Solicitor at the firm.

Supporting parents through the SEND system

The Education Law TikTok channel has been created to answer questions from parents and carers who are trying to navigate EHCP assessments, amendments, appeals and phase transfers. For many families, the SEND system can feel confusing, particularly when information is inconsistent or arrives late.

The channel reflects the Education Law team’s ongoing work supporting families across England with all aspects of education law, including EHCP assessments, Annual Reviews, appeals to the SEND Tribunal, phase transfers and challenges where provision is not being delivered.
