All about us
By law, children with SEND are entitled to educational support that meets their individual needs. Since IPSEA was formed in 1983, we have helped to improve educational support for thousands of children with all kinds of SEND. We do this by providing free and independent legally-based information, advice and casework support.
IPSEA provides legal training for parents, school staff, parent carer forums, support groups and other organisations in order to increase their knowledge and understanding of the SEN legal framework.
We also work to challenge unlawful SEND policy and influence policy development at both a local and national level
Who is this service for?
Parents, carers and professionals/organisations working in the field of SEND
