Ofsted inspection contributed to headteacher’s suicide, Coroner rules

The Coroner has made clear the significant disadvantage this family would have been in without legal representation https://t.co/Hg30EEX2E6

[Deborah Coles @DebatINQUEST]

Shameful decision not to grant #legalaid for such an important public interest case & where three public bodies are represented from the public purse. We need to end this inequality of arms & extend funding for all state related inquests.
