Idhren Drew
SEN Legal
United Kingdom
Idhren joined SEN Legal in March 2020 as a paralegal, having held roles in education and family law previously. Having successfully completed the Training Contract at the end of 2022, Idhren now works alongside the other solicitors on aspects of SEND Law (with a particular interest in related social care issues), including applying for EHC Needs Assessments, all types of Appeals to the SEND Tribunal, and post-Appeal work, such as resolving funding and transport issues related to school placements.
Prior to pursuing a career in law, Idhren worked in industry and then took a prolonged family break to raise 3 children with SEND. She returned to work in 2016, initially volunteering with Coram Children’s Legal Centre, where she developed a detailed knowledge of both education and family law. The decision to specialise in Education Law was an easy one, allowing her to support parents and children / young people to achieve the education they deserve, while also drawing on her experience as a SEND parent.
