Section B. What the plan says your child needs. Everything else in the plan is built on this — if it's wrong or thin, the rest follows it.
Section F. What the local authority must actually provide. This is the one part of the plan that's legally binding on its own.
Section I. Which school or setting is named. Often the exact reason parents end up appealing.
Each one has its own evidence, its own deadlines, and its own strict two-month appeal window.
SEND Assistant keeps track of all three.
Refusal letters, EHCP drafts and decisions in plain English.
Your two-month appeal window, your mediation certificate date, your hearing — in one timeline.
A first draft you review and change.
What each section actually says, and what it means for your child.
What to expect, what to bring, what you'll be asked.
Reports, assessments and letters, kept together and dated.
Ask where your case is up to and see the stages laid out.
What the SEND Code of Practice says and where it comes from.

"Finally, something that explained the EHCP process in normal English. It made everything feel much less overwhelming and helped me know what to tackle next."
"I was completely lost with the Tribunal paperwork. SEND Assistant broke it into manageable steps and helped me track what I needed to do."
"It gave me a much clearer picture of the process and helped me prepare for my hearing. I wish I'd found it sooner."
"Really useful when you're trying to handle everything yourself. Being able to ask questions in plain English saved me hours of searching and second-guessing."
"The deadline tracking alone was worth it. I felt more organised, understood what was happening, and much more prepared going into the next stage."
