About the Practice
When a support decision in Cardiff becomes impossible to decode, parents need a structured path before the next deadline arrives. SNAP Cymru Independent Advocacy Cardiff Families helps Cardiff parents understand the Wales ALN and Individual Development Plan framework before a meeting, refusal letter, review or tribunal deadline takes over the whole house. The work is about turning fear and scattered evidence into a clearer plan for school, the authority and the next decision point.

Calm Support During Conflict: Support can help parents translate school and local authority language into the next practical step.
