Our Services

Human-centred support across education
Every Case. Every Person. Fully seen.

At McAuley Red, we empower families to self-advocate or access guidance from our dedicated team. We specialise in SEND and home education, supporting parents and children with EHCPs, elective home education, and statutory provisions such as Sections 19 and 61.

Looking ahead, we also intend to offer support for non-complex immigration matters, extending our human-centred approach to help families navigate these challenges with confidence.

Whether in person or online, our goal is to ensure every family feels fully seen, heard, and confident in making the best decisions for their children’s education.

Mediation

Our Mediation service is designed to foster constructive communication and help families and educators reach mutually agreeable solutions in educational and community contexts.

With a focus on empathy, understanding, and respect, our impartial mediators provide a safe space for dialogue, ensuring that all voices are heard. We aim to resolve conflicts efficiently while maintaining positive relationships and promoting long-term understanding.

Each mediation is bespoke, tailored to the specific circumstances of the parties involved. To provide the best support, we ask for more information in advance so we can confirm the price and ensure the availability of an appropriately trained and experienced adviser.

Key Benefits:

  • Impartial mediators

  • Constructive communication

  • Efficient conflict resolution

  • Respectful, sustainable solutions

Choose our mediation service for guidance that is empathetic, professional, and human-centred, ensuring every participant feels fully seen and heard throughout the process.

Education Consultancy

Our Education Consultancy service provides tailored advice and practical solutions for families and educators navigating the often complex education system. We work with you to ensure your child’s educational needs are understood, supported, and met.

We offer guidance on all aspects of EHCPs, from the initial EHC needs assessment request to securing an EHCP that is fit for purpose for your child’s SEN. We also provide support and information around home education, including elective home education, and guidance on Sections 19 and 61 educational provision, whether delivered in the home or through an alternative provision or hybrid models.

Our consultants combine specialist expertise with lived experience, ensuring you receive informed advice that aligns with your educational goals. Where a situation falls outside our direct expertise, we will try to signpost you to services better placed to support your family. Trusted for its customised, expert guidance, our Education Consultancy ensures families feel seen, supported, and confident in making the best decisions for their children.

Coming Soon: Immigration Support

At McAuley Red, we are preparing to offer human-centred support for non-complex family immigration matters. This service will provide practical guidance within Level 1 Immigration & Asylum Advice, helping families navigate straightforward immigration or asylum processes with confidence.
