I'm pleased to see there has been some payback against this company.

However, I find this paragraph from the article particularly distressing,
"Baker Small is the most prominent law firm in this niche area, and its success rests on its ability to help cash-strapped local authorities cut the costs of SEN provision. As well as being contracted to fight cases at tribunal, it is also paid to provide training courses for council officials, offering strategies on managing and ending specialist provision for children with disabilities."
I don't have a child with SEN but the fact that councils are seeking legal help to actively stop giving SEN provision makes me feel ill. What an awful world where money trumps need every time.
