We were recently instructed in a proposed #JudicialReview to Kent County Council’s “Special Schools Review” (a proposal to redesignate 7 special schools). Following pre-action correspondence sent on behalf of affected families, Kent has agreed not to take any steps to implement the decision. [1/2]

Our clients the Continuing Care Parents Group are #crowdfunding to challenge cuts to vital care and support for an “alarming” number of disabled children in their area - find out more and support them here: www.crowdjustice.com/case/disable...
Continuing Care for Disabled Children - Parent & Carers Group
We believe that our local ICB is unlawfully cutting vital care for disabled children, which will harm the most vulnerable and lead to harrowing and costly hospital readmissions.
