WHO WE ARE​
Douglas Silas Solicitors (DSS) is a small, niche, but nationally acclaimed and renowned firm of solicitors that specialises exclusively in advising and representing parents of children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Douglas has successfully represented thousands of parents of children with SEN and has helped them get the right provision or school for their child, even if they thought that there was no hope left.

WHAT WE DO
We help parents of children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in dispute with their Local Authority (LA) to get a good Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) for them. ​We advise them indirectly (i.e. helping them do things themselves), or we represent them directly (i.e. doing everything for them).

HOW WE HELP
We help where parents are trying to get an EHC Plan in the first place, right through to where they need our help to appeal to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal.
