IPSEA

The Independent Panel for Special Education Advice provide an indispensable service for parents of children with SEN who are having difficulty in obtaining appropriate provision.

IPSEA provide free legal advice and support for parents, including sitting in on meetings and in some cases providing full legal representation in court over years.

The site is essential reading for parents (and teachers) in the light of new SEN assessment rules and other procedures which are often being disregarded or poorly implemented by Local Authorities.
