Service details
National charity that provides independent free legal advice and support for parents and carers of children and young people with special educational needs (SEN). IPSEA can help with information about:
- what Hackney Learning Trust’s (HLT) legal duties are to assess and provide for children with SEN
- exclusions of children with SEN and disabilities

- tribunals, appeals and claims related to SEN and disability

Parents tip:
“Remember when you are writing a request for advice to do this in an e-mail or document then copy and paste it into the required field on the IPSEA website. This means you do not lose the information if the form times out. I have been caught out twice when taking time to summarise a complicated situation.”
