We can also offer SEN Mediation and/or Disagreement Resolution on a spot purchase and individual basis.

If your local authority or health commissioner is not listed above then we are happy for you to talk to them about our services. In the meantime we would advise you to look at your local authority’s local offer page for details of the provision they have made in relation to mediation and disagreement resolution services.
