When the system feels complicated, the next step should not. SBK SEN Consulting helps families and schools understand what is happening, gather the right evidence and move forward with a practical plan.
Most situations do not fit neatly into one box. These services are designed to join up around the child, family and school rather than make you navigate another complicated system.
Practical support from the first question about an EHCP through assessment, plan drafting, annual review, amendments and preparation for tribunal where needed.
Support and mentoring for parents and young people around diagnosis, exams, transitions and the moments when everyday life or school suddenly becomes harder.
Coaching and hands-on support for teachers, SENCOs and leaders managing increasingly complex SEN needs in ordinary classrooms.
For situations where a pupil is repeatedly removed, refusing school, on a reduced timetable, excluded, shut down or struggling to reintegrate after things have gone wrong.
You do not need to arrive knowing the right terminology, the right process or even what you should be asking for. The first job is to understand what is happening and what matters most.
Children do better when the adults around them can understand the same problem, share useful information and work towards a realistic plan.
When you are worried about your child, every form, meeting and decision can start to feel high-stakes. SBK helps you prepare, understand the process and make your child's needs easier for other people to see.
Schools are carrying more complex need inside already pressured classrooms. SBK brings practical SEN experience into the problem: supporting staff, improving responses and helping pupils stay connected to learning wherever possible.
SBK SEN Consulting is led by Sarah, an experienced SENCO who has worked alongside children, families, teachers and schools. The consultancy is built around a simple idea: people cope better with difficult SEN situations when they can understand what is happening, what the evidence says and what they can practically do next.
That means listening before advising, avoiding blame, being clear about the limits of what one person or one plan can achieve, and staying focused on usable changes rather than jargon.
That is exactly what the first conversation is for. Tell Sarah a little about what is happening and SBK can help you decide whether it is something the consultancy can usefully support.
