Really sad to be missing this but I'll be glued to twitter. Congratulations to all the finalist, legal aid heroes!!

So happy for Ollie Persey - richly deserved recognition!! Works tirelessly with our team to change lives for children and young people.

A new report commissioned by orgs representing local authorities has concluded that children & young people w/ SEND are an 'existential threat' to LA finances and the solution is to remove their legal rights. Needless to say we will oppose this vigorously. static1.squarespace.com/static/5ce55a5…

LBC Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧 Tom Swarbrick Hi Tom Swarbrick, I am a lawyer who represents parents of SEND children. Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧 is completely mistaken in his view that the number of parents requesting EHCPs has risen so they can receive tax exemption in private school fees.
