About the Practice
When the support-plan process starts to feel like a wall of forms, deadlines and official language, Cardiff families need somewhere calm to begin. SNAP Cymru Cardiff ALN Advice 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.

Why Work With Us?
Free Cardiff 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.
