SEN / ADHD research

[CL Tuition Club]

Good afternoon all,

I am wanting to speak with families of children with SEND for research purposes. A little more detail is below.

My name is Charlene, and my background is in education. I have worked with children and young people for over 15 years. I am a qualified teacher and work as a SEND consultant.

I am in the process of applying for funding for a newly registered CIC to act as an advocate for parents that are struggling to gain support applying for an EHCP (education, health and care plan) and also take part in a 6-week course to equip families with the knowledge and understanding about the EHCP and what this involves. As part of the process, I want to carry out research to establish issues and concerns families might have with schools and local authorities in getting support, advice or guidance with this process. I am keen to speak to families in this situation and feel that having such a service would benefit them. I know that time can be an issue, but I would really appreciate your views. Thank you for reading my post

Kind regards,

Charlene
