Before you book.
Which service should I choose?
Book a free consultation if you are unsure. We help identify the stage you have reached and recommend the most appropriate service.
Do I need supported casework?
No. Preparation Support provides the agreed piece of work for parents who feel comfortable managing the next stage themselves.
Can I upgrade later?
Where possible, preparation support can be upgraded to supported casework, subject to the case remaining within scope. We confirm availability and any additional fee before proceeding.
Are services available across England?
Most consultation, review and document services can be delivered remotely to families across England.
Do you guarantee outcomes?
No. Local-authority, tribunal, assessment and benefit decisions cannot be guaranteed. We focus on clear preparation, relevant evidence and practical guidance.
Do you provide legal representation?
School of Diversity provides practical SEND guidance, document preparation and parent advocacy. Our SEND service is not a solicitor’s practice or regulated legal representation. Any regulated legal representation would need to be separately provided by an appropriately authorised professional.
