How Our SEND Consultancy Services Works…

We tailor our services according to what you need with no surprise invoices.

Our fully insured SEND Consultants take time to understand the background of your case and create a plan of action, with you in the driving seat.

Everything we do for you is agreed upfront, before the work takes place. This means:

There are no surprise invoices and we always work to support payment plans if they are required.
We receive no government funding to ensure we remain impartial and not restricted by ‘red tape’.
Services are charged by the hour. Our charges currently start at £110.00 +VAT per hour.
We can deliver professional training – Price on Application

You remain in control of what you spend with us, just keep an open communication between yourself and your SEND Consultant.

“As a headteacher I thought I knew how to navigate EHCPs. Little did I realise how much of what we were being told was nonsense by the LA. Sunshine have empowered my staff to the point where we have great success requesting EHCPs and the funding we are now in receipt of has helped our children beyond recognition. We cannot thank you enough! We are enrolled for regular training with you now, too”

“We were told we couldn’t get an EHCP by the school and then by the LA. Our Sunshine advocate went through our rights with us and undertook the work that was requested, within 22 weeks we had an EHCP that was fit for purpose with a specialist provision named. We cannot thank you enough!”

“We had no idea what we were doing and we could get help from nowhere, then we found Sunshine Support! Now we know our rights, we have an EHCP in place and we didn’t need to attend a tribunal! My fellow SEND parents couldn’t believe how much we have achieved for our son, they thought it wasn’t possible!”

“We were being blamed for our daughter’s presentation because she masks. We thought we were going to lose our children to the care system as the mentioned ‘Fabricated or Induced Illness’. Sunshine made sure that didn’t happen, and we have an EHCP and no social care involvement now; and one content daughter!”
