Outstanding SEN and EHCP Advisory Support
We are a tier-one MAT with a focus on inclusion and schools across country. Having worked with a large proportion of firms advising on complex/high-risk EHCP consultation response, we became aware of Winckworth Sherwood through their training webinars, which we viewed as the best available. We then contacted WS with an urgent matter and received outstanding support and advice on a 48 hour turnaround, and which has led us to substantially rethink and revise our approach in a key area of education law. We look forward to continuing to work with Winckworth Sherwood.
