Sam's Approach – ‘It takes a village to raise a child’

Her approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and a genuine passion for making a difference. She works closely with schools, parents, other professionals and students to provide comprehensive support.
Together we stand, together we grow.
Her infectious enthusiasm and ability to bring people together enables her to champion the child and put them at the centre of all she does. Having her own personal experience of the SEND system enables her to have a wider empathy for every family’s journey.
"Knowledge is power. Experience is everything."
Our Mission:
Our mission is to create inclusive educational environments where every child with SEND can thrive. We believe in the power of tailored support, advocacy, and mediation to make a positive impact on the lives of children and their families
Whether you are a parent, carer or school, our support is to build an understanding of the SEND process and the individual needs of the child/young person, whilst working together to navigate the best outcomes, from nursery through to secondary school.
In a system that can feel so complex, we aim to bring a wider understanding, empathy and a clear pathway for all.
