Exclusions of children with SEN and Disability are a complex area and often a cause of misunderstanding that puts the child at a disadvantage to their peers.
Meet the Special Educational Needs legal team
Children can be labelled as ‘naughty’ at school and excluded or suspended when in fact the behaviour they are exhibiting is a characteristic of their disability or due to their needs not being met properly. In such cases punitive action may not be appropriate and the treatment of your child by the school could be discriminatory.
We can advise you on your rights in this situation and what action you should take to bring a disability discrimination claim to the SEND Tribunal. We can also represent you in these claims.
Outside of a formal discrimination claims, we can also help you with discussions with schools, complaints to governing bodies and finding and transitioning to new placements.

2 months agoMichelle and team at Shentons were brilliant at handling our property purchase. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them. The quality of work and service was excellent, Michelle is on the ball and responsive to emails, she pushed the other side and made sure we were comfortable and informed at every step. Despite being thrown some curve balls Michelle remained calm, and dealt with all of them in an efficient but thorough manner. From quote to completion everything her and her team did was excellent, and in line with the estimate given which for first time buyers allowed us to budget without fear of massive final bill. It’s nice to know what you are getting into. And finally to top it off they are all lovely approachable people that I wouldn’t hesitate to trust with such a big purchase or sale going forward. If you want the job done properly I wouldn’t use any other firm.Posted on Google

10 months agoMy whole experience of Rachel and Chloe representing me, guiding myself through a very stressful court process was second to none. They are highly professional, highly experienced in their field and gave solid, clear advice. I can't recommend them and Shenton's enough. Thank you. - PPosted on Google
