About ehcp solicitors
Navigating the EHCP system can be overwhelming. When Local Authorities refuse to assess, issue inadequate plans, or fail to deliver the provision they've agreed, many families turn to specialist SEND solicitors. These are lawyers who know education law inside out and can fight your corner — from initial applications through to tribunal hearings.
Consider instructing a solicitor if your Local Authority has refused to carry out an EHC needs assessment, if the proposed EHCP doesn't accurately reflect your child's needs, if the LA is trying to name an unsuitable school, if provision specified in the plan isn't being delivered, or if you're facing a tribunal appeal. The sooner you get legal advice, the stronger your position.
SEND services in Manchester
Manchester City Council's SEND team works with families across the city, supported by Manchester's Parent Carer Forum. The wider Greater Manchester area is covered by ten separate councils, each with their own SEND provision. The city has a growing number of private practitioners and several well-regarded special schools.
Typical costs
Legal fees vary significantly. Some solicitors offer fixed-fee packages for specific stages (e.g., reviewing an EHCP, drafting an appeal). Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £300. Legal aid is available for some SEND tribunal cases — ask your solicitor whether you might qualify. Many families find the cost is justified by the provision secured.
