We've been instructed by ▪ SUZANNE ▪🌻 to challenge the lawfulness of the #SENDreview consultation. The consultation seeks views on the effectiveness of Tribunal remedies in disability discrimination claims, but doesn’t explain the Tribunal can’t award damages.

Many people (like our client) don’t bring claims because of this. We’ve asked SoS for Education Nadhim Zahawi to respond to our pre-action letter by 14 July to publish information making this clear and to extend the consultation period. Will update further once response received.
