Organisation/Service Details
Organisation Details
Description of activity
We are an independent registered charity. We support parent/carers with legal SEN advice/information to enable them to find their way through the legal and procedural maze, which is so daunting to so many, who try to obtain satisfactory provision for a child's special educational needs.
Our Co-ordinator, Eleanor Wright is a leading SEN Solicitor and believes passionately about helping children and young people with SEN reach their potential through meeting their educational needs through the right provision and services.
How are we independent? We have children's charity shops in Hampton Hill,New Malden and Worcester Park called All4Kids and All4Kids 2. Parents fundraise throughout the year for us and we have an annual ball to enable us to give advice, which is independent.
We offer a free, friendly, independent, and confidential term-time only, telephone helpline for parents and others looking for information and advice on Special Educational Needs (SEN).
We run free walk-in advice centres for parents/carers to meet face to face with an experienced SEN volunteer or professional. Nearest centres to Kingston or Richmond are located in Hampton and Worcester Park.
We offer 1:1 advice sessions for parents needing more time and advice.
