About Us

Gale Davies

Director

Prior to starting a family, I had a busy and successful career in property but when my eldest. was about 2 years old we began to realise that he was struggling to engage socially at nursery and was not reaching the developmental milestones as expected.

I argued, fought and negotiated for my child to get the right provision for his needs and learned that

understanding the system is not easy and that time is an important factor, not only for the developing child and their need to start receiving help as soon as possible, but also in the way the Local authority and schools interact together and with the parents to agree a package ahead of the academic year.

I am passionate about helping others benefit from my experience, I have trained to become an SEND

advocate, and lend my voice and experience to who needs it; I volunteer for a national charity that helps children with special needs, and I am a proud trustee of an award winning local charity.

I can offer you a tailored package for assistance that could start and end with a free (and sympathetic)

consultation, or that could be more involved, with document creation, case reviews and strategy, up

to and including representing your child’s interests at tribunal.

Our Philosophy

At Little Steps, we believe that parents/carers and young people can be the best possible advocates for their child/young person. Applying for the initial assessment is just the first step in a very long process. Parents/carers/young people will be, on a regular basis, communicating with various multidisciplinary professionals as well as schools and local authorities on an ANNUAL BASIS.

Learning the process is essential not only to recognise when the situation is not right but what to do in the first instance. This can save you time, money and a lot of stress.

Empowering parents/carers and young people increases the chances of the child/ young person successfully get their needs met long before an appeal needs to be considered.
