about

The Journey

Marguerite is the Founder of Haye Independent Services which was successfully launched in June 2014 as a result of the Children and Families Act 2014. Marguerite’s primary goal was to support families through the new Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) journey with the new legislation. Marguerite successfully advocated for 1000s of families working in different roles nationally.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Marguerite became seriously ill which resulted in her having to make life changes to her role. It was decided that she would no longer be working just as an advocate but would use her extensive experience to offer assessments of needs and 1:1 tutoring for children with special educational needs or disabilities.

This is where the – The Big e was born.

NatashaAssistant Head

We invited Marguerite to our professional network for a session focussing on young people with SEMH needs and how SaLTs can write good EHCP reports and Outcomes to support them. She was clear, knowledgeable and brilliant at answering questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a very approachable professional with fantastic knowledge of her area of expertise. We came away from the training session with a lot of extra information and resources and our members gave really positive feedback.
