Parent and Carer Alliance recognise the expenses involved when acquiring tribunal and SEN support
services. We offer a range of paid SEN support services to families who would like us to undertake the administration tasks related to their EHCP/Appeal. As a Community Interest Company (CIC) we have tried to keep these services as affordable as we can, whilst covering our costs and helping us to continue to support families.

SEND SUPPORT SERVICES/ EOTISC PACKAGE

If you have not had support from the Alliance Advice service before and are not sure what you need, then all of our support services will start with a free 30-minute Advice Consultation to enable us to gather the required information from you and advise you as to the services you need.

Our advice service staff are not legal advisers, nor are they providing legal advice. Parent and Carer Alliance CIC accepts no liability for, nor do we guarantee, success at Tribunal.

If you decide to proceed then you are accepting support on this basis – complete the form in as much detail as possible and our advocate will be in touch.

The available SEND Support services, EOTISC Package and Independent Assessments, are summarised below. For a more detailed description click here.
