Education Consultation

An Education Consultation at Live to Learn Integrated Assessments is a unique and bespoke consultancy service providing expert, independent advice on education pathways, SEN, and strategic next steps. Grounded in extensive experience across education and shaped by lived experience as a SEN parent, this service is designed to give families the clarity and confidence they need to make informed decisions about their child’s education.

This service can include exploring and identifying suitable education settings, designing unique home education packages, and advising on further professional involvement.

Our process

The consultation begins with a detailed discussion to understand the young person’s current situation, educational history, strengths, and needs. This is followed by independent research and analysis tailored to the family’s circumstances — whether that involves identifying appropriate education provisions, reviewing existing support, or mapping out next steps across education and SEN pathways.

The process is collaborative and family-led, ensuring that the advice provided is grounded in the young person’s individual profile and the family’s priorities.

After the Assessment

Following the consultation, families receive clear, actionable guidance on the most appropriate next steps for their child’s education. This may include recommendations for specific education settings, a tailored home education framework, advice on professional referrals, or a strategic plan for navigating SEN processes. The aim is to leave families feeling informed, supported, and confident in the direction ahead.

Working With Families and Professionals

“The team worked together seamlessly and we felt supported throughout. It never felt rushed or impersonal. The focus on our child’s strengths as well as their needs was reassuring, and the outcomes have been genuinely helpful in moving forward.”

“The assessment and report from Live to Learn were exceptionally clear and practical. The recommendations were specific, realistic, and easy to translate into provision within school. Having the educational context so carefully considered made a real difference.”

“From the very beginning, the process felt thoughtful and well coordinated. The assessment was thorough, but what stood out most was how clearly everything was explained. The report gave us real clarity and helped us understand not just the diagnosis, but what support would actually help our child in school and day-to-day life.”
