UPDATE re my son’s special school. It’s bad. Firstly the good news. Here is the advice they received from lawyers - turns out they were wrong re The Equality Act (duh) and have agreed to change their policy in light of this advice
BUT they made it clear they are doing this through *very* gritted teeth. Apparently the Equality Act is both outdated and out of step with mainstream opinion. And the local authority agrees. It’s very hard to see what can be done next
. They’re totally captured.

I’m devastated. How can I possibly fight this?? If a school for the most vulnerable children imaginable doesn’t get it, who ever will??
