Disbaility Discrimination Claim

Hi!

Just wondered if anyone has any experience of tackling a Disability Discrimination claim against my son's on their own?
I have had some free expert advice which felt there is a case to answer against my sons' schoo ( he's not going back there!), but wants to point me towards a solicitor if I can  get Legal Aid ( not sure yet if I would !), or a charity to take it up on my behalf. My intention when seeking advice was always to pursue it myself, so I wondered if anyone else has done this, or if I'm totally mad!! I thought the whole point of SENDIST was it didn't have to invlove expensive lawyers!

  • Im just considering doing the same as my son is going through statementing and I'm waiting for the final copy. I've requested a move of school as the current school cannot cope and the way they do is by excluding him. He was excluded during lunchtime all last week as they dont have anyone who can support him during the lunch hour and the Friday before he went into a meltdown hurting another child. I have now written to the SEN Governer and I'm going to provide them with information about Autism as the school is absolutely clueless. What made me more mad is that I subsequently have found out another 4 Autistic/Autistic Spectrum children were also internally excluded or sent home last week. Im not sure if this is appease the other parents or because they dont have the staff.
