AskEllie Private Support Response – Detailed Guidance

And if I burn out… I can’t help anyone.

So I’ve introduced a private support option.

This allows me to give your situation my full attention — properly read everything, review documents, and respond with the care and depth it deserves.

There is a small fee of £10.99

This is set deliberately low so support remains accessible to families who need it. The fee is a suggested contribution — not a barrier. If you need flexibility, that will never affect the time, care, or quality of the support you receive. Every response is detailed, thoughtful, and written with your situation in mind.

Many professionals charge hundreds of pounds for guidance of this kind. But we know that type of support isn’t accessible to many SEND families. That’s exactly why AskEllie exists — to make clear, informed support available to the parents who need it most.

Because when you’re fighting for your child, access to the right information shouldn’t depend on what you can afford.

When you choose this option, you’ll complete a detailed questionnaire so I fully understand your situation. You can upload EHCP drafts, school letters, Benefit documents, reports — whatever is relevant.

In return, you’ll receive a detailed, personalised action plan tailored specifically to your circumstances.

This isn’t a rushed reply.

It’s thorough.

It’s considered.

And it’s built around your child.

Every penny goes directly towards building the new AskEllie website so families can access instant support 24/7.

Public comments will always remain free.

But if you need private, structured guidance, this is now available.

About the support:

AskEllie provides guidance and information based on the SEND Code of Practice, UK education law, and publicly available statutory guidance.

• Understand your rights

• Prepare for meetings

• Communicate effectively with your school or Local Authority

• Navigate the SEND process with confidence

• Access the financial and practical support your child may be entitled to (including DLA, PIP and benefits)

Important:

This is guidance and support — not legal representation.

I cannot attend meetings, act on your behalf, or intervene directly with schools or Local Authorities.

You remain responsible for decisions and actions taken regarding your child’s education and wellbeing.

If your situation involves urgent safeguarding or mental health concerns, please contact appropriate professional services.

I’m not a lawyer or clinician — I’m a parent who has lived this journey for over 10 years and understands the system from the inside.

All support is provided as a written response only — not via phone, Zoom, or live calls.This is intentional.Written guidance allows you to:

👉 clearly understand your situation

👉 refer back to it when needed

👉 use it directly in emails, forms, or appeals

👉 take practical, structured action

All information you provide is treated confidentially and used only to prepare your personalised guidance.
