Thinking of setting up a blog - posting about SEN, Equality Act, LGO etc (facts and stories) Similar in style to this

What would you call it? Something catchy but linked to SEN. I was thinking of borrowing 'cemented to the floor by law' or something

I was thinking a one-stop:

  1. area on sen law
  2. area on human rights
  3. area on equality law
  4. area on enforcing rights: Ombudsman, judicial reviews
  5. Parent power/voice of children - by you for you/connecting parents
  6. Links to lots of other good sites
  7. Possibly allow other services/lawyers to advertise

I might also be able to pull together pieces from leading barristers or get them to do something specific

The idea behind it summed up in this quote:

?You know, there are rules and laws and regulations set up by the UN on how disabled people should be treated.There are conferences, meetings, etc held where there are decisions made.WHERE DOES ALL THIS END UP? Let
this all not end up on paper as the previous have. Let it go through to the people, which I think is not a very difficult job. Let the disabled
people know their rights through whatever you come up with so that they can fight for their rights.?
(Girl, 19, Somalia, quoted on UNICEF?s ?Voices of Youth? website)
