Ask Dave on WhatsApp
For everyday school questions when you want experienced judgement without booking another consultation.
Before you reply to the email. Before you decide whether to push. Before you walk into parents’ evening with ten minutes and six questions. Access gives you experienced school-side judgement when the question actually happens.

A traditional consultation makes sense when there's one big problem. School life doesn't work like that. Questions appear across the year. Some take five minutes. Some need your private session. Some are better brought to the monthly Q&A. Access gives each question somewhere sensible to go.
Make sense of school language, processes and what is — and isn’t — being said.
Work out when to ask, push, wait, escalate or leave something alone.
Go in clearer about the outcome you need and the questions most likely to move things forward.
For everyday school questions when you want experienced judgement without booking another consultation.
Use it when something needs proper space: prepare for a meeting, unpick what is happening, review support or decide what to do next.
A member session built around the questions families are actually dealing with — plus open Q&A for whatever has landed that month.
Eight practical tools designed to help you prepare, communicate, track what is happening and make a clearer decision.
Themes will follow the points in the school year when families tend to need them most, while leaving room for members to bring what is happening now.
The free guides help you understand what may be happening. The Access Toolkit helps you act on it.
You sort the meeting. Then an email arrives. A report comes home. Something changes with friendships. Attendance gets harder. Most of those moments do not need another formal appointment — they need a clear view of what matters and what to do next.
Access is there for what comes after the session too: the quick questions, the next meeting, the email you are unsure how to answer and the moments when you want to check your thinking before you act.
