How a clinical negligence compensation claim can support your child’s education:
Navigating the education system when you have a child with additional needs can be a challenging and time-consuming process. During the investigation of a compensation claim for your child, we can provide you with guidance on accessing advice and support from SEN specialist solicitors to make sure that your child’s Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) meets their needs.
A successful clinical negligence compensation claim for damages can include funding for a specialist educational placement, therapy sessions, accessible learning and communication aids, and conductive education. Where funding is already available or likely to be available in the future then a claim for damages can ensure your child has access to specialist advice from education solicitors where needed should their EHCP need to be reviewed or appealed.
From our experience, securing additional support for your child’s education alleviates significant stress for many parents who have often spent years trying to navigate the EHCP process to ensure that their child attends a suitable school. It also allows for your child to attend a school where they can thrive and meet their full potential.
We work with and can recommend educational provision across the country, some of which also provide conductive education accessible in the early years to assist with your child’s transition to school, and throughout their education to support their learning.
