We have assisted in representing clients in tribunal appeals against school placements and provision named in Special Educational Needs statements seeking more specialist funded placements at specialist private schools that could meet their needs. Frequently the local authority agree the requested placement before the appeal hearing.
We acted for Mrs L who had paid over £17,000 for a specialist wheelchair that was never usable as it was not properly adjusted for the client. Despite several failed attempts at repair and adaptation the wheelchair was still unusable. We got involved on her behalf and achieved a substantial refund that enabled the wheelchair to be tailored to this lady.
