Who this is for

You’re considering tribunal
You don’t want to accept a plan that can’t be enforced
— ABOUT JOHN-PAUL
I've sat on the other side of the table.
For over 20 years, I worked inside local authority education commissioning and SEND management — the system that writes EHCPs, commissions provision, and makes the decisions that determine what support your child receives.
That gives me a professional perspective that very few independent reviewers can offer. I'm not approaching your child's plan as a parent navigating the system — I'm reading it with the same expertise used to produce and commission these documents from the other side.
I know where the language is designed to be flexible. I know which sections carry legal enforceability and which don't. And I know what a strong, challengeable, well-evidenced plan looks like — because I've worked with them at senior level throughout my career.
20+ years in senior LA education commissioning and SEND management
Specialist knowledge of Sections B, F and I — the sections that determine provision
Experience across draft plans, final plans, annual reviews and tribunal preparation
All reviews delivered as a professional written document — clear, specific and actionable
"The draft stage is your most important window. Once a plan is finalised, getting meaningful changes becomes significantly harder — and most parents don't know that until it's too late."
— JOHN-PAUL INGLIS, INDEPENDENT SEND CONSULTANT
Local authorities issue EHCP’s containing vague, unenforceable language — wording that sounds reasonable but commits to nothing and cannot be measured or challenged. This isn't always intentional, but it is consistent.
When I review a plan, I'm looking at whether the wording in each section meets the legal standard, whether provision is specific enough to be enforced, and what evidence would support a challenge. You get that in writing — set out clearly, without jargon.
