Independent SEND consultancy

Making SEND make sense — for families, schools and trusts.

Assessments and plans. EHCP navigation. Provision audits. Practical CPD. Evidence‑led, compassion‑first, outcomes‑focused.

What we do

Support that fits each learner

ASEND supports Parents, Schools and Trusts. We start with a free discovery call to understand the child and context. Then we design a simple plan with clear goals, roles and timelines for home and school. We deliver coaching and resources, and we check progress together. At the end, we review results and tune the support — free of charge.

Parents & Carers

We empower you to navigate the SEND maze with clarity and confidence. You’ll come away feeling informed, in control and supported.

  • Discovery & fit check: free calls to understand your child.
  • EHCP & assessments: navigate paperwork and meetings.
  • Home & school strategies: tailored actions that work.

Schools

Gain an external perspective on your provision and unlock quick wins for staff and students. We help you embed inclusive practice that sticks.

  • Whole‑school review & roadmap: honest audit with practical next steps.
  • Graduated response made real: demystify statutory guidance.
  • Coaching & CPD: targeted training and in‑class modelling.

Trusts & Organisations

Build capacity across multiple schools. We create simple frameworks and develop confident leaders to deliver consistent, high‑quality SEND.

  • Trust‑wide standards & QA: shared tools and common language.
  • Leadership & SENCO development: coaching for senior teams.
  • Train‑the‑trainer: scale your impact and sustain change.
How it works

Discover · Design · Deliver · Monitor

Discover

Free call to learn about the child and context.

Why: families often feel overwhelmed. We start by listening, clarifying needs and agreeing success measures.
What: we explore reports, talk with you and (where appropriate) your child, and note strengths, triggers and hopes.

Design

Simple, bespoke plan with clear roles.

Why: support should fit the learner and context, not the other way round.
What: together we co‑create a plan with realistic steps for home and school, assign roles and timeline, and align expectations.

Deliver

We coach parents and staff and provide resources.

Why: implementation is key to change.
What: we model strategies, coach teachers and carers, supply resources, and check‑in regularly to adjust as needed.

Monitor

Review impact and iterate.

Why: SEND support should evolve as the child does.
What: we review progress against goals, fine‑tune strategies, and provide a free follow‑up to keep the support working.

Why we work

Unlocking potential for every learner

ASEND was born from our personal journey to unlock and enable our own children, their peers and the schools and trusts who support them. After decades of seeing families and teachers doing their best with limited resources, we wanted to build a consultancy that empowers them with clarity, compassion and evidence‑based strategies.
