We were recently instructed in a proposed #JudicialReview to Kent County Council’s “Special Schools Review” (a proposal to redesignate 7 special schools). Following pre-action correspondence sent on behalf of affected families, Kent has agreed not to take any steps to implement the decision. [1/2]

Our clients the Continuing Care Parents Group are #crowdfunding to challenge cuts to vital care and support for an “alarming” number of disabled children in their area - find out more and support them here: www.crowdjustice.com/case/disable...

Continuing Care for Disabled Children - Parent & Carers Group
We believe that our local ICB is unlawfully cutting vital care for disabled children, which will harm the most vulnerable and lead to harrowing and costly hospital readmissions.

We are in the High Court this week for a judicial review challenging Devon County Council’s ‘Safety Valve Agreement’, with the Department of Education - a controversial arrangement about #SEND funding. Carine Patry KC, Ollie Persey, and Jake Thorold act as counsel. 1/2
