Exclusions of children with SEN and Disability are a complex area and often a cause of misunderstanding that puts the child at a disadvantage to their peers.
Meet the Special Educational Needs legal team
Children can be labelled as ‘naughty’ at school and excluded or suspended when in fact the behaviour they are exhibiting is a characteristic of their disability or due to their needs not being met properly. In such cases punitive action may not be appropriate and the treatment of your child by the school could be discriminatory.
We can advise you on your rights in this situation and what action you should take to bring a disability discrimination claim to the SEND Tribunal. We can also represent you in these claims.
Outside of a formal discrimination claims, we can also help you with discussions with schools, complaints to governing bodies and finding and transitioning to new placements.
