We secured Watkins Solicitors to produce a PAP letter for judicial review. The service was prompt, professional and ensured the local authority made a more timey decision about my child's EHCP.
The EHCP process is challenging and painful for parents. For us is was a multi-year struggle which could not have happened without Sophia Beekmann, Celine Conley and Wania Hussain of Watkins Solicitors. They helped us appeal the initial rejection and also go through the process of preparing for tribunal to ensure the best school for our son was named in his EHCP. The team was proactive with a challenging local authority, explained whenever we had questions and steered us to a successful outcome. We are grateful.

Watkins Solicitors are an exceptional team — professional, compassionate, and forensic in their preparation. Our EHCP and tribunal case was complex and high-stakes, involving a child whose needs required intensive wrap-around and residential provision. At a time when services were in disarray and we were left largely unsupported, Watkins stepped in with clarity, expertise, and calm direction. They moved quickly, immediately recognising the urgency and committing to an initial discussion — that early responsiveness set the tone for everything that followed. Watkins uncovered the reality of our child’s condition, ensuring his needs were finally seen for what they are. From there, they built a precise, evidence-based strategy that left no detail unchecked. Their written submissions were watertight, their understanding of SEND law unmatched, and their communication consistently clear and humane. Celine, Beverle and Emma were outstanding — responsive, thorough and always one step ahead. They worked seamlessly with our experts and witnesses, ensuring every document and report landed exactly where it needed to. When the hearing finally came, the evidence spoke for itself. We could not have asked for a stronger legal team or better outcome. Watkins Solicitors don’t just know the law; they care deeply about the children and families they represent. Highly recommended for anyone navigating the EHCP or SEND tribunal process.
Thank you for your high recommendation and kind words, Lisa! It’s wonderful to know that our quick responsiveness and the precise, evidence-based strategy of Celine, Beverley, and Emma were effective in your tribunal case.

Outstanding Solicitor – Life-Changing Support for My Son’s EHCP I cannot thank Emma Thompson at Watkins Solicitors enough for the incredible support she provided during my son’s EHCP process. Navigating the system with the local authority felt overwhelming at times, but Emma brought not only deep legal knowledge, but compassion, clarity, and persistence. She guided me through every step with professionalism and care, ensuring my sons complex needs were truly recognised and met. Thanks to her dedication, my son now has a place at the specialist school that is right for him something I honestly didn’t think was going to be possible. Emma made sure my voice was heard, and my son’s rights were upheld. Her understanding of the law, attention to detail, and genuine passion for helping families made all the difference. If you’re looking for someone who will truly fight for your child’s educational needs, I wholeheartedly recommend Emma. This outcome has changed our lives, and I’ll always be grateful
Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review.

It is especially meaningful to hear the impact this has had for your family. Your recommendation means a great deal to our Education team. Should you need any support in the future, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Expert Help with EHCP Refusal to Assess Appeal I can’t recommend Celine Conley highly enough. She provided expert legal support throughout my appeal against a refusal to assess for an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan), which she successfully resolved in our favour. From our very first phone call, Celine was supportive, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She explained the process clearly, offered honest and practical advice, and always highlighted the most cost-effective options available. Communication was consistently prompt, and I always felt well-informed and reassured throughout the process. Thanks to Celine’s dedication and expertise, we achieved the outcome we were hoping for. If you’re looking for legal support with an EHCP or special educational needs matter, I would absolutely recommend Celine Conley.

We are so pleased to hear that Celine was able to support you through what can be a very challenging process. The Watkins Solicitors team are deeply committed to helping families navigate the EHCP system with clarity and care, so it is lovely to hear that her advice and communication made you feel informed and reassured throughout. Should you ever need further support, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Wishing you and your family all the very best, The Watkins Solicitors Team
Thank you to Watkins Solicitors, specifically Emma Thompson, for helping us navigate bewildering EHCP statutory processes over many years.

Huge thanks again.
