What families say
Lucy helped me win my appeal against the council to get my son into specialist school. She was totally on the ball throughout the process, and he is now thriving.
I fully recommend SEND Matters. I would have given up trying to fight my local council and probably had a nervous breakdown from all the stress if I hadn't instructed Lucy to help me get better support for my children.
Lucy proves that not all hero's wear a cape
SEND Matters is an incredible support and has helped my family more than they will ever know.
