About the Practice
When the support-plan process starts to feel like a wall of forms, deadlines and official language, Bradford families need somewhere calm to begin. Bradford Barnardo’s SENDIASS helps Bradford parents understand the England SEN/SEND and EHCP/EHC 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.

Why Work With Us?
Free Bradford Route: Parents get a clearer route through confusing education language, so they can see what needs to happen before the next school, authority or tribunal step.
Local Process Clarity: Support focuses on evidence, deadlines, wording and next actions, helping families move from panic to a practical plan.
Calm Support During Conflict: This gives parents a grounded first step before they spend money or walk into a meeting unsure what the authority is asking for.
