Hi @EliTheDDC Can you help?
There was a lawyer at the parent-carer conference in Telford a few years ago, but I can't remember their details.
Just wondering if anyone knows of a SEN lawyer/solicitor for some advice? @museumDCN @SensorySp @Digitamworth @profamandakirby @DyspraxiaYouth @DYSPRAXIAFDTN
