Navigating the SEND and EHCP process can feel overwhelming, particularly when you’re not sure what should happen next or what support your child may need. A SEND Adviser offers friendly, practical guidance to help parents feel more informed and confident throughout the process. They can help you understand the different stages of an EHCP, make sense of reports and paperwork, prepare for meetings and Annual Reviews, consider whether your child’s needs and provision are clearly reflected within their plan, and talk through your options if you have questions or concerns.

Bloom by Simone works collaboratively with an independent adviser to enable families to access additional support with the EHCP process. The adviser operates independently and provides advice directly to families. Families are under no obligation to use this service, and use of the advisory service is not linked to accessing Speech and Language Therapy through Bloom.
