With both professional and personal experience in this complex and evolving area, she supports parents, families, and schools across a broad range of education law matters. Her work focuses particularly on Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), including advising on applications, challenging Local Authority decisions, and representing families throughout the appeals process.”
Alexandra is committed to upholding the legal rights of children and young people, firmly believing that every child has the right to fulfil their full potential. Her professional expertise, reinforced by her ongoing legal training towards qualifying as a CILEX Lawyer, together with her lived experience as a SEND parent and as a school governor, gives her unparalleled insight into the challenges families face. This combination empowers her to deliver highly practical, bespoke, and results-driven advice, grounded in empathy, collaboration, and unwavering advocacy.
