All children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) have a legal right to an education that meets their individual needs. But many tens of thousands of children and young people with SEND are not getting the support they are legally entitled to.

At IPSEA, we are here to change that. IPSEA is the leading charity in the field of SEND law in England, and we provide free and independent legal advice and support to families of children and young people with SEND. We also provide training on the SEND legal framework, and we influence policy at both a local and national level.

Every year, thousands of families turn to IPSEA when they’re struggling to get the right education for their child. We rely on donations and fundraising by incredible people to offer vital legal advice when it’s needed most and to fight for the SEND system to work better for children and young people.
