Education Law Experts Call on Council to Fulfil Legal Obligations to Children with Special Educational Needs
Education Lawyers at Simpson Millar helped a family challenge Durham County Council after their disabled son was left without proper education or support. Despite having an EHCP, the child was denied a suitable placement until legal action was taken. The case highlights systemic failings by local authorities to meet legal obligations, with devastating consequences for vulnerable children. Simpson Millar is calling for change to ensure families don’t have to fight for the education their children are entitled to.
