Where we can help.
Each matter has its own facts. These are the questions we can help you assess and address.
Disability-related discipline
Examine whether disability and support needs were considered in a sanction.
Harassment and unequal treatment
Organise incidents, reports and responses into a clear chronology.
Victimisation concerns
Review what happened after a pupil or parent raised an equality concern.
Where it starts
Does this sound familiar?
Early advice can help identify the immediate issue and protect the available options.
Support was agreed but not delivered
The pupil is still facing barriers despite a plan or repeated requests.
A sanction seems linked to disability
Behaviour and unmet support may both be relevant to the decision.
A reported incident continues
The response to harassment or discrimination has not resolved the problem.

Common questions
Before you make a move.
The answer depends on your documents and the procedure that applies.
Does a diagnosis automatically prove discrimination?
No. The particular treatment, disadvantage, knowledge and response all need consideration.
Can we seek practical changes as well as review a past decision?
Yes. The immediate support needed and the decision already made can be considered together.
What should I send first?
Send the decision, the relevant deadline and the key documents. A short timeline helps us understand what happened.
