Without the help and advice from Mr Phillips it is doubtful we could have won our case against the Local Authority. He successfully managed all our requests to amend our daughter’s EHCP and won a Specialist School placement of our choice.

His knowledge and experience of SEND issues is invaluable and worth its weight in gold. There is no doubt he has saved our daughter from a lifetime of unfulfilled education.

Ater fully assessing our case he highlighted the fact that our daughter might be dyslexic and advised a second opinion from an independent Educational Psychologist who confirmed the diagnosis. Without this critical evidence our daughter would not have proper teaching support in her EHCP.

His presence in meetings with the LA meant that we were fully supported and he was able to dismiss every inadequate response put forward by the LA. His polite but no-nonsense attitude was just what was needed.

Our case was presented to the Tribunal service in such a compelling manner that the LA conceded without the need for us to endure a full Tribunal hearing.

Mr Phillips removed all the worry and uncertainty of the complex legal process dealing with all the paperwork efficiently and in a timely manner.

Whenever we had concerns they were answered very quickly, even taking time out to call us while on his holiday. Nothing was too much trouble to discuss and explain.

We would not hesitate to recommend Mr Phillips as an expert SEND advocate if you are struggling to negotiate with the LA.  He makes your goal his and is determined to win your case having your child’s best interests at heart.

We will be ever grateful for his hard work, determination, knowledge, professionalism, and care.

By the New Year we hope our daughter will be settled in her new school and fulfilling her true educational potential.
