I receive hundreds of messages from parents every day.
Some need quick guidance.
Some need a bit more clarity.
And then there are situations where you need proper, hands-on support — where getting it right really matters.
This is that level.
This option is for parents who are dealing with more complex or ongoing situations and need someone to help them handle it properly.
That might include:
EHCP amendments or reassessments
Tribunal appeals or preparing for tribunal
DLA reconsiderations or benefit issues
Section 19 / out of school situations
Disagreements with schools or Local Authorities
Attendance issues, fines, or school pressure
Or simply when things have reached a point where:
You don’t just need advice — you need support managing what’s happening.
This is not a one-time reply.
You’ll receive a dedicated support ticket, giving you continued access while your case is active.
That means:
👉 You can come back with updates
👉 Ask follow-up questions
👉 Get help responding to emails, letters, and decisions as they happen
This is about helping you handle the situation step by step — not just telling you what to do once.
Think of it as having a structured guide alongside you, helping you respond properly as things unfold.
EHCP drafts or plans
School or Local Authority communication
Tribunal or appeal-related issues
DWP / benefits letters (DLA, UC, Carer’s Allowance etc.)
Reports, evidence, or concerns
I will review your case in full.
✔️ A complete review 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, tribunal, or DWP)
✔️ A fully written email or letter tailored to your case
✔️ Up to 4 documents reviewed (EHCPs, reports, letters, evidence)
✔️ Up to 3 follow-up responses (based on replies you receive)
✔️ Access to your ongoing support ticket
✔️ Your case is kept under a unique ticket reference
Responding to school or Local Authority emails
EHCP reviews or amendments
Tribunal preparation or wording
Challenging decisions (education or benefits)
This means you’re not left second-guessing replies —
you have support as the situation develops.
Most parents come to this stage when:
They’ve been refused support
They’re preparing to challenge a decision
They feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ignored
They want to make sure they’re doing things properly
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Many professionals charge hundreds of pounds for this level of support.
AskEllie exists to make that level of guidance accessible, clear, and parent-focused.
Because when you’re fighting for your child, you need more than guesswork —
you need support that continues.
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 intervene directly with schools, Local Authorities, or the DWP.
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
Once you purchase this service, you’ll be sent a structured questionnaire.
This is designed to guide you through everything we need to understand your situation properly — so you don’t have to guess what to include or worry about missing something important.
It helps you:
👉 organise your thoughts
👉 provide the right level of detail
👉 make sure nothing is overlooked
This allows me to review your case properly and give you clear, accurate guidance based on the full picture.
All information you provide is treated confidentially and used only to prepare your personalised guidance.
Every purchase helps support the continued development of AskEllie — so more families can access clear, reliable support when they need it most.
