IPSEA (Free and independent legal advice)

All children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) have a legal right to an education that meets their individual needs. But many tens of thousands of children and young people with SEND are not getting the support they are legally entitled to. 

At IPSEA, we are here to change that. 

We are the leading charity in the field of SEND law in England, and we provide free and independent legal advice and support to families of children and young people with SEND. We also provide training on the SEND legal framework, and we influence policy at both a local and national level.

Helpline open:

• Tuesdays, 9.30am – 3.30pm
• Wednesdays, 9.30am – 3.30pm
• Fridays, 9.30am – 12.30pm 

*Charged at a local rate. Mobile numbers may vary.
