I receive hundreds of messages every day from parents who need support.
Some need quick guidance.
Some need ongoing help.
And then there are situations where you need more than a quick answer — but not full ongoing support.
This is that level.
This option is for parents who need clear, structured support with a specific situation.
For example:
Responding to the Local Authority or school
EHCP issues (reviews, amendments, problems with provision)
DLA or benefits decisions
Ongoing back-and-forth communication
Situations where you need to get your response right
This is ideal if:
👉 You’re dealing with something important
👉 You want to handle it properly
👉 But you don’t need ongoing case support
This is a deep-dive response.
I will take the time to properly understand your situation, review your information, and give you clear, structured guidance you can act on immediately.
You can upload up to 2 key documents, such as:
EHCP drafts or plans
School or Local Authority communication
DWP / benefits letters
Reports or supporting evidence
Everything will be reviewed as part of your response.
✔️ A detailed breakdown of your situation
✔️ A clear step-by-step action plan
✔️ What to do next — in the right order
✔️ What to say and how to say it (school, LA, or DWP)
✔️ Key rights and processes explained simply
✔️ Review of up to 2 documents
✔️ 1 follow-up responses included (linked to your original request)
Responding to replies from school or the Local Authority
Help understanding a decision or letter
Refining what to say next
Clarifying next steps based on new information
This allows you to handle the situation properly as it develops — within a focused scope.
This is not ongoing support and does not include a support ticket.
This service is designed to help you resolve or move forward with a specific issue, rather than manage a full case over time.
If your situation becomes more complex or ongoing, you may benefit from the Premium Support option.
Many professionals charge hundreds of pounds for this level of support.
AskEllie exists to make clear, structured guidance accessible to families who need it most.
Because when you’re dealing with schools, Local Authorities, or benefits —
getting it right matters.
This is guidance and support — not legal representation.
AskEllie provides information based on:
The SEND Code of Practice
UK education law
Benefits processes and publicly available guidance
I cannot act on your behalf, attend meetings, or contact schools, Local Authorities, or the DWP directly.
You remain responsible for decisions and actions taken.
All support is provided as a written response only.
This is intentional.
Written guidance allows you to:
👉 refer back to it anytime
👉 use it directly in emails, forms, or appeals
👉 take clear, structured action
You will also receive a structured questionnaire after purchase, designed to guide you through the right information so nothing important is missed.
All information you provide is treated confidentially and used only to prepare your personalised response.
Every purchase helps support the continued development of AskEllie — so more families can access clear, reliable support when they need it most.
