Guides and Resource Directory

The guides on this page are grouped into topic clusters so you can quickly move to the area most relevant to your child’s EHCP journey. Within each cluster, you will find detailed articles answering common parent questions, explaining key SEND, EHCP and tribunal issues, and helping you understand what may be required before taking the next step.

​

Some guides are written for parents and carers who want straightforward explanations of EHCPs, assessments, draft plans, annual reviews, evidence and appeals. Others provide more detailed guidance for families and professionals who need clearer support around Sections B, F and I, social care evidence, working documents, SEND35 and SEND35A appeals, mediation and SEND Tribunal preparation.

Our EHCP resource library is designed to make complex SEND processes easier to follow. Depending on the topic, guides may explain legal and practical routes, evidence requirements, common misunderstandings, warning signs of dispute, appeal stages, draft EHCP issues, annual review concerns, or the differences between similar types of support.

​

As the library grows, this directory will continue to act as the main access point for Little Nellie’s EHCP and SEND guide clusters, making it easier for parents, carers and professionals to explore related topics in a structured way rather than searching for pages individually.

This directory is intended for a wide audience. That includes parents and carers seeking support for their child, young people who want to understand their own EHCP rights, professionals involved in education, health or social care planning, and referrers who want to better understand the issues before arranging more structured input.

​

Because many EHCP situations involve overlapping education, health, social care, evidence and appeal questions, the guides are written to be informative without losing sight of real-world use. They are intended to support better understanding, not replace case-specific advocacy, independent professional advice, regulated legal advice or formal assessment where this is required.
