I joined SEN Legal in March 2020 as a paralegal, having held roles in education and family law previously. Having successfully completed my Training Contract at the end of 2022, I now work alongside the other solicitors on aspects of SEND Law (with a particular interest in related social care issues), including applying for EHC Needs Assessments, all types of Appeals to the SEND Tribunal, and post-Appeal work, such as resolving funding and transport issues related to school placements. Prior to pursuing a career in law, I worked in industry and then took a prolonged family break to raise 3 children with SEND. I returned to work in 2016, initially volunteering with Coram Children’s Legal Centre, where I developed a detailed knowledge of both education and family law. The decision to specialise in Education Law was an easy one, allowing me to support parents and children / young people to achieve the education they deserve, while also drawing on my experience as a SEND parent.

Knowledgeable and professional
Instructed Idhren Drew to help appeal my son's case and take it to Tribunal. We didn't end up going to Tribunal in the end as the LA allocated an appropriate school for my son. All my dealings with Idhren were great and she was really helpful and knowledgeable in talking us through the process, explaining the law and helping us to understand our rights. If I need legal advice in the future for my son's education I would definitely come to SEN Legal again and would recommend them.
