SEND Decoded

SEND Decoded is a free information session for parents and carers who are exploring SEN support for their child - whether you're just starting out or are already mid-process.

The sessions offer a clear, accessible overview of key areas of SEND law, along with practical guidance on what to expect as you navigate the system.

Sessions are delivered by students from the Student Law Office, with all materials prepared, reviewed, and approved by specialist SEND lawyers, who will also attend the sessions. Please note that the sessions are informational only and individual legal advice cannot be given.

Dates and locations will be announced soon - please check back here in due course. Alternatively, if you would like to receive updates about the sessions directly, please email SEND.Decoded@northumbria.ac.uk.
