Legal Support & Advisory Services

Navigating Education Law With Informed and Confident Support

Legal processes within education can feel daunting, particularly when families are already managing complex needs and competing priorities. At ABA ConnectEd, our Legal Support and Advisory Services are designed to guide families through these processes with clarity, accuracy, and reassurance. We help families understand their rights, responsibilities, and available options, ensuring they are equipped to make informed decisions at every stage.

Our support spans the full EHCP journey, from initial advice through to review, amendment, and appeal. We work closely with families to ensure that documentation accurately reflects a child’s needs, strengths, and required provision. By translating clinical and educational evidence into clear and structured information, we help families present their case confidently and effectively within formal processes.

Targeted Support Across the Legal Journey

Rather than offering generic advice, our guidance is tailored to the specific stage and complexity of each case. We support families in preparing for meetings, reviews, and tribunals, helping them understand what is required and how best to approach each step.

Our advisory support may include

• Guidance through EHCP applications and reviews

• Support with gathering and presenting evidence

• Preparation for mediation or tribunal proceedings

• Advice around education rights and entitlements

Working Alongside Professionals for Stronger Outcomes

A key strength of our service is our experience working collaboratively with local authorities, legal professionals, and education providers. This insight allows us to support families in navigating systems with realism and confidence, while maintaining a clear focus on the child’s best interests. We understand how decisions are made and how evidence is weighed, enabling us to provide guidance that is both informed and strategic.

Through clear communication, practical preparation, and experienced advocacy support, ABA ConnectEd helps families navigate legal and statutory processes with confidence. Our aim is to reduce stress, strengthen understanding, and ensure families feel supported and informed throughout the entire legal journey.
