What to expect

Clear next steps, without the pressure

Start with the situation you are in

Choose the route that best matches the issue today — school attendance, SEN support, EHCP processes or your own wellbeing.

2

Turn concern into a clear written record

Use the free tools to create a structured first letter, organise the facts and ask the right organisation for a written response.

Use free resources at your own pace

The main resources stay free. Any future specialist service will be announced clearly only after final delivery checks are complete.

Our mission

What this site is

The EBSA and SEN Hub exists because parents shouldn't have to piece together this information alone — Googling in the dark, waiting months for appointments, not knowing their rights.

The vast majority of what's here is completely free — the articles, the legal guide, the tools and the community. No pressure, ever. Just the knowledge and support you need — written plainly, by someone who has been inside this system for over 25 years.

"You did not fail your child. You are at the start of a different kind of fight — and there are routes through it."
