ADVICE SERVICE
Self Funded & National Advice Service
Our services are not limited to Gloucestershire Families! We offer a service for families all over the UK, providing support and advocacy on a self-funded basis. We also offer a self-funded service to families within Gloucestershire who require more intensive support and need more hours.
We Are Here For You
Our Advocacy service is not limited to Gloucestershire families. We recognise that finding an advocate can be a really hard task and we can fill that gap. For families who live outside of the Gloucestershire area, we offer a self-funded service. We can support in all areas of SEN, disability, education, health and social care, including CIN plans and child protection. We have consolidated our fees to bring you the best value for money.
Families within Gloucestershire can also access this service. It may be that the funded hours have been used up as the case is very complex and further hours are required. Or it may be that you are happy to fund your support from the start. To start support we request an initial self-funded agreement to pay for 5 hours support, at a rate of £49 or £65 an hour, plus a set-up fee of £25 – a total of either £270 or £350 depending on the work required. The rate will be agreed in advance, the initial payment must be received before work starts and any unspent money will be refunded. Please ONLY fill in this form if you are happy to proceed on this basis.
If you need support, please fill in the form and we will get back to you within 5 working days. If your request is urgent, please email triage@parentandcareralliance.org.uk after completing the form, and we will do our best to prioritise your case.
