Adjustment requests
Assess barriers and the steps requested to remove them.
Support and fair treatment go together.
We help you understand the decision, the evidence and the steps that may be available. The right approach depends on the particular facts and procedure.

Where we can help.
Each matter has its own facts. These are the questions we can help you assess and address.

Examine the link between a sanction, disability and unmet support.
Harassment and victimisation
Record incidents, reports and the response received.
Education access
Identify how unequal treatment affected learning or participation.
Where it starts
Does this sound familiar?
Early advice can help identify the immediate issue and protect the available options.
Agreed adjustments are missed

The decision may need scrutiny in its full context.
Reports are not acted on
The setting has not addressed repeated incidents.
Our approachStart with the facts.

Common questions
Before you make a move.
The answer depends on your documents and the procedure that applies.
Is an EHCP required to request adjustments?
No. The adjustment question and the existence of an EHCP are distinct matters.
Can an exclusion be challenged on equality grounds?
Potentially, depending on the facts, decision and available procedure.
What should I send first?
Send the decision, the relevant deadline and the key documents. A short timeline helps us understand what happened.
