SAILs Navigate
SEND and EHCP Consultancy
We specialise in securing statutory funding (EHCP, EOTAS, NHS continuing healthcare and LA provision) and assembling multi-disciplinary packages for litigation-funded, settled cases and Local Authority clients. Rapid mobilisation, clinical rigour, and statutory expertise.
What We do
SAILs Navigate is the specialist case-management arm of SAILs. We are not a generalist health & social care provider — our core expertise is obtaining and defending statutory funding and commissioning the right education, health and care provision for young people and adults following brain or complex injury. We work closely with legal teams and appointed case managers to make statutory routes operational and auditable.
WHY SEND and EHCP Consultancy?
-
Expedient
Statutory systems are complex and time-sensitive — we remove delay and protect clinical entitlement.
-
Outcome Focussed
We translate medico-legal strategy into statutorily compliant, costed provision.
-
Secure Provision
We prioritise statutory funding routes where appropriate (EHCPs, EOTAS, NHS Continuing Healthcare, LA packages) before commissioning private alternatives.
