Interesting article about the effect of the Equalities Act in the TES.
"Schools are facing costs that could run to millions of pounds because of new legislation that could see them ?picking up the bill? for the extra services needed by their SEN pupils, The TES has learnt.
The Equalities Act, which was passed last year, makes headteachers liable for funding more equipment and support staff than previously."
So how will all this work, especially for those with statements? What kind of legal action could schools be facing and how will parents make a legal case?
'Interesting' comments below the article too!
