Know Your Rights: Education Law & SEND Support

Navigating the SEND system can be complex and families are frequently left without the support their children are legally entitled to.

Global Child and Maternal Health is hosting a short, practical online drop-in session in collaboration with barrister Acland Bryant, focused on SEND education law and children’s legal rights.

What we’ll cover:
• Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs)
• The legal duties of schools and local authorities
• What steps to take when support is not in place
• Live Q&A, submit your own questions in advance or during the session

🗓 Tuesday 27 January
⏰ 11:00 – 12:30
📍 Online (Zoom)

This session is for parents, carers, professionals, and anyone supporting families with SEND who want clearer information and practical guidance.

Because understanding your rights is a powerful first step toward securing meaningful support.
