"Helping your little Gems to shine"
Expert SENDCo guidance for parents, schools, early years settings and local authorities. Navigating the EHCP process with confidence and compassion.
With over 20 years' experience as a Deputy Head and Assistant Head across Gloucestershire schools, our founder brings deep, practical knowledge of the education system from the inside. A qualified SENDCo for the majority of that career, she has held the role across multiple schools and settings — and knows exactly what good SEND provision looks like.
But this isn't just professional. As a parent of a registered disabled child, and having successfully secured one of Gloucestershire's youngest EHCPs, she understands the system from a family's perspective too — the frustrations, the jargon, and the fight it can sometimes take to get the right support.
Legally trained to IPSEA standards, SendGems offers expert guidance to parents, schools, early years settings, and local authorities. Whether you need help navigating the EHCP process, strengthening SEND provision, or simply want someone in your corner who truly gets it — we're here.
