I would like to thank the lovely Louise knight for you help support and guidance with my sons EHCP I am truly greatful!! It was really invaluable!

Louise was a God send…. She helped so much with my child’s EHCP. Invaluable support, thank you x

I was recommended Louise by another professional and I'm so grateful they did! I didn't know where to start in regards to looking through the EHCP but she was so thorough, helpful and explained the whole process and reasoning behind why she included the adaptions. It made the process less stressful and would highly recommend her. I will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you so much!

I have worked with Louise to support my child in having their EHCP changed to be more detailed and specific and submit evidence for our up coming tribunal to have our school of choice named on the EHCP. Working with Louise has been fantastic, she has offered advice, support and always been contactable, clear and professional in her responses. The day I started working with Louise my stress lifted and I felt I had someone in my corner, its been invaluable.

Louise was available to support me at short notice. She explained the process clearly, advised how she could help and support and pulled out so much specific information on reports that was missing from my child's EHCP. Louise was so thorough and took the pressure off parents navigating an unfamiliar system. We will be requesting her help throughout the coming year and we just wish we had found her sooner.

We needed an expert opinion on our daughter’s draft EHCP. Everyone knows going through the process of this is highly stressful and all you want is to make sure that what you have been given from your Local authority is fit for purpose. After contacting Louise who was recommended to me via another professional we left it in her capable hands, expecting to receive it back in a few days, we got it back the day after! She had corrected things I wouldn’t have even known would have needed correcting! Louise is very thorough, explains everything clearly and answered my 1 million questions without any trouble. She offers a service that is very much needed and to pay for it (which is very reasonable) is money very well spent. I am truly grateful to this lovely lady. A*****service. Thanks a million 🌟

We have been lucky enough to have Louise by our side from EHCP draft stage all the way through to tribunal! Thankfully, we did not need Louise on tribunal day, because the LA conceded and named our Specialist placement 8 weeks prior to tribunal day!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Because of Louise’s tireless efforts and determination to see our son receive the access to a special needs education and a robust, quantified and specified EHCP, our boy is no longer being failed by the system! We will forever be grateful to Louise, not just because the outcome was exactly what we desperately needed and hoped for, but because of the support, care, kindness and patience she showed us during the entire process, answering all our questions, fighting for us in phone calls, emails and meetings with the LA and making the journey as stressless as possible! When annual review time comes and secondary transition, I know who I’ll be calling!😁🫶🏻🥹

Louise came highly recommended to me and I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for some guidance around the ehc process. Professional, knowledgable, friendly, with a speedy service. Couldn’t ask for more. Would use again in the future and will be sure to point others in Louise’s direction too.

I reached out to Louise for advice on my son’s EHCP and she was extremely helpful. We didn’t go ahead with making any changes as she advised there wasn’t many to make, which shows how honest and trustworthy she is and that she has your best interest at heart. We will definitely use her again in the future!

I have found Louise to be an absolute godsend. The amount of work and admin that is involved to go through a tribunal, is ridiculous and having Louise to walk us through it and explain the process in lamens terms, has been so valuable. I would 💯 recommend using Louise as an advocate as her knowledge is valuable.

Louise has been excellent so far. We are at the beginning of a long road but I am glad Louise will be with us every step of the way!

The process of obtaining an EHCP is overwhelming, arduous and often lonely and it was for us until we found Louise. We will always be grateful for her obvious passion, hard work and diligence in helping us amend our son's plan and provide us with such clear and knowledgeable advice throughout the entire amendments process and beyond. Louise found countless areas within Sections B and F that were not worded as they were within our many assessments and professional reports, needs that were completely missing or simply not provided for specifically or quantifiably within our draft plan. Louise took such care in explaining the process to us before, during and after and when she was finished amending the plan, which only took a matter of days, we had a video call to discuss and see all her work via powerpoint! We always knew where we were in the process, our next steps, back up plans and how we were going to tackle the next obstacle the LA placed in our way and this gave us a sense of control and hope that we were starting to lose before we met Louise. Louise has proven to us that we are not alone on this journey in advocating for our son and we do not have to navigate this complex process alone. Louise makes us feel that our little boy's needs and fighting for his plan and school placement is truly important to her and because of her hard work, candour and commitment to SEND support, we will have someone in our corner fighting alongside us for our son. Thank you, Louise. The Smith-Benson’s.

We are so glad we found Louise. After thinking we had a good understanding of what we needed to edit in our draft EHCP, Louise helped us identify a huge amount of extra evidence that was missed. Very friendly and very clear pricing and agreements with no surprise costs. Thank you Louise!

Louise was friendly, helpful and efficient. We asked her to review my son’s EHCP draft and she provided great communication about the process and made the edits quickly. Louise trawled through various reports to help ensure the provision and needs set out in the EHCP were correct and specific. Louise set up a video call to talk through the edits which was really useful to help us discuss these with the EHCP caseworker. Highly recommend Louise’s services!

Louise was amazing with helping me amend my son’s draft EHC plan. She talked me through everything and gave advice as to what should go into it. Her fees are very reasonable. Thank you so much Louise.

Louise’s support has been exceptional throughout our EHCP journey. She has gone above and beyond to understand and address our unique circumstances. She listens intently and ensures that we never feel like just a number. Louise's empathetic yet realistic approach has been invaluable in navigating the complexities of my child's needs and the LA/EHCP system. Her deep knowledge and clear, concise advice have been instrumental in guiding us towards gaining the right support for my child. Working with Louise, I feel incredibly supported and confident that my child is on the path to receiving the necessary and deserved support. I highly recommend Louise for her expertise, understanding, and unwavering dedication to helping families.

I had received a draft EHCP and I knew it wasn't right as it was missing information from 2 expert reports, and I also felt it was missing information from the reports that had been used. Feeling very overwhelmed by the task of going through everything and trying to pick out what needed to be included in the plan, I approached Louise who went through the draft and all the reports, and sent me her recommendations (all 138 of them!) She was super quick but very thorough, explained everything she recommended to be changed via video call, and was friendly and approachable throughout. I would highly recommend Louise and I will be back if I need further help in future!

Louise was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. She gave us all the support we needed to respond to our draft EHCP.

Fantastic service! EHCP was edited and returned super fast, and Louise is so knowledgeable and helpful. I would never have known half of the things she included, her years of teaching children mean she really knows her stuff! As my son's needs change getting older, I will be retaining her services, to ensure he gets the most appropriate care that he can! Definitely 100% recommend!

After my son’s diagnosis of ASD/ADHD I felt alone and not sure what to do or where to turn. I was recommend Louise from another parent in a similar situation. Since making contact with Louise she’s been nothing but supportive, she’s also found some great resources for me that I didn’t even know existed. I would highly recommend Louise I’ve never felt so supported.

We sought Louises advice and support when we felt at bit of a dead end and out of emotional energy to objectively navigate the annual review and tribunal process. She helped provided clarity and focus and her advice and support was very helpful and much appreciated. I would highly recommend her.
