Spring 2025 - Feedback for Virtual SENDCO work: 

Having Liz as our Virtual SENCo has been no different than having someone physically present on site—in fact, her input and presence are consistently felt in every aspect of our alternative provision  school.The quality and effectiveness of her work are outstanding, and she has built strong, professional relationships with our senior team, offering clear guidance on what needs to be done and how to do it well.

Liz’s service is highly responsive and available whenever needed, which is invaluable for a small institution like ours. She eases the pressure by offering expert advice, developing personalised learning plans, organising reviews, and mentoring or tracking students as required. Her proactive and structured approach ensures that no student falls through the gaps, and we feel fully supported in meeting the needs of our learners.

Liz has become an integral part of our provision, and we highly recommend her to any setting looking for a flexible, dedicated, and highly effective SENCo

Are you at the end of your tether with the experiences you have had around education ? 
Do you get overwhelmed by the acronyms or complex paperwork associated with the education system? 
Do you feel you need support to better understand and support your young person? 
Have they recently had a new diagnosis or EHCP awarded and you don't know what next? 

If of these questions resonate for you then you may benefit from a consultation or advice session? 
Having worked with parents/ carers  for all of my career and being a parent to a teen and pre- teen myself I can offer a range of support. This could be anything from assessing the communication you are getting from school , gathering paperwork for an EHCP application or helping you to manage the needs of your young person.
