Important: SEND Compass is a self-help information and drafting tool for parents and carers in England. We are not solicitors or a law firm, we do not give legal advice, and using this service does not create a solicitor–client relationship. We are not affiliated with HM Courts & Tribunals Service, the First-tier Tribunal (SEND) or any local authority. Outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
