For more than 25 years, I've been dedicated to helping parents and carers of children with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities to successfully navigate the complex SEND system and get the support their child needs.  I've got a wealth of experience and a first class record of success, and I have completed all the levels of IPSEA legal training. 

As a parent of a child with SEND myself, I know first hand what a struggle it can be to get your child's needs identified, and then to get them the support and resources they need to reach their full potential.  I can help you get what you need for your child's education and support.

She has an in depth knowledge of the Tribunal Service and always works tirelessly to help the children and parents who need her support. It has been invaluable to be able to offer Sharon’s support for parents who are going through the Tribunal process to help them secure the right support for their children. Sharon has also helped me navigate the Tribunal process so that I am able in turn to support parents to get the support which their children need. I cannot recommend her services highly enough."

"Sharon's unwavering support during our son's journey to a specialized school has been truly remarkable. Her practical guidance and deep understanding of the system have made a tangible difference in our son's education. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to any family navigating the complexities of special education."

- Parent

"Sharon has truly been a godsend throughout this entire process. She patiently explained the tribunal procedure step by step, ensuring I understood what was required at each stage. She assisted me in gathering supporting evidence to strengthen my case, facilitated meetings between myself and my son’s school SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator), and maintained constant correspondence with the tribunal team to ensure that no details were overlooked.  The EHCP process can be incredibly daunting and anxiety-inducing. Without the support and guidance of someone like Sharon, many parents, including myself, might feel overwhelmed and tempted to give up. Her expertise, dedication, and reassurance made all the difference, giving me the confidence to advocate for my son’s needs effectively."

- Parent

"Sharon Bourla helped me when the council refused to assess my son for an EHCP. She was very calm and explaining everything each step of the way, patiently answering all my questions. She was very efficient and knew exactly when and what to do. Her name is very known and accelerated a lot of the processes. Today my son has his EHCP and has been accepted in the school I wanted for him. We wouldn’t be there without Sharon’s help"

- Parent

"I have worked with Sharon for several years. Sharon goes above and beyond supporting parents and their children to ensure that their needs are met. She is always willing to spend the extra time to make sure that the parents understand everything and that they are making the right decisions for their children. Sharon is incredible to work with and she is professional and the results speak for themselves. Sharon is caring, thorough, informed and informative person. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She has a far deeper understanding than anyone I’ve met. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a dedicated parent’s advocate."
