We are able to offer free advice to the parents/guardians of children with Educational Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), and young people with EHCPs. In some circumstances we may also be able to represent in appeals to the First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability).

We are now assisting with Victims Right to Review applications (assisting victims of crime to request a review of their case by the police or Crown Prosecution Service in the event the suspect is not charged) and also applications by victims to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.  We also continue to run a Miscarriage of Justice appeal project, assisting those who have been wrongly convicted by the Crown Court and have exhausted the appeal process under the legal aid provisions.
