Hi I started this same thread on the legal advice part of special needs but that seems to not get much traffic so I'm putting here as well.
Anyway, Our 8 yr old is profoundly autistic. He's in a very good LEA autistic day school but they say (and we agree) that he's too severe for them. He?s been accepted by a fantastic residential school but our LEA won't fund and are trying to put him into a totally inappropriate SLD day school. We?ve got a pile of evidence from a range of professionals saying he needs residential provision but the LEA just ignore.
We now know were going to have to go to tribunal to get him there so wonder if anyone can offer advice on good solicitors in the East Surrey/West Kent area (or in London if need).
