@merseyrail we know there are issues but why are your station staff at central and moor fields sending people who want the Southport line to stand on Sandhills freezing platform for a train that is coming from central and we could have got on there?
Our @LivLawClinic has received a successful decision from Upper Tribunal on a Special Educational Needs case they've been helping with 👏 This decision sets a new precedent, ensuring children's views are considered in educational placements.

Pleased to help (with @leonglenister) the family achieve a positive outcome in this case. A child’s wishes & feelings must be considered when making placement decisions TM and SM v Liverpool City Council: [2024] UKUT 201 (AAC) - https://t.co/lNRAQ4atjn (https://t.co/bEHAfoPHYo)
💜Proud the work our @LivLawClinic students do to promote access to justice (through our Special Educational Needs Judicial Review Project) has been recognised!🎉

@JonHaidt many parents will be with you on your perspective on phones. Many of us see this as 100% the top issue. I’d like to see information designed for the kids. Teenagers don’t listen to parents at the best of times. Any thoughts on resources for them to understand too?
We know that some parents will not have received the #EHCP they wanted for their child’s transition to secondary school. Merseyside parents can access our free advice appts for transition appeals. As always this is with a solicitor supported by students. [email protected]
Parents & carers of children with #SEND👇
Do you have a child who is unable to attend school?
We've written some guidance explaining local authorities’ legal duty to provide alternative education - along with a template letter to help you request it.

Yep – We’ve lots more to do here.

Unfortunately, as the end of term approaches, we are once again hearing about children with #SEND who don't have a school to attend from September 2023.
We’ve produced this guidance to help parents and carers who are in this situation 👇

Great opportunity to work with some great people, such as @greggburrough1 and @Edu_lawyer, doing important work in @CCLCUK's education law team. https://t.co/1LlRgiGe3G
Children with #SEND are disproportionately likely to be excluded from school; they account for almost 2/3 of all #exclusions. We are doing important research on this and want to hear from parents/carer if your child has ever been excluded: https://t.co/skb97dLpZj
Do you have a child with a complex health condition who you think needs an EHCP? My sister, Dr Abigail Fisher (educational psychologist) is running a webinar tomorrow. Come and ask your questions. Please share if you know parents who might benefit. https://t.co/KQU4el8BT2
Travelling with an electric car in this country is very stressful. Broken rapid chargers which are few and far between. Loads of companies with their own subscription services, which often don’t work. We are so not ready or even off the starting blocks #EVcharging

@OctopusEnergy we have been offered an intelligent octopus tariff. Can we do this and still be paid for excess energy we generate from our solar panels? If not can we switch back and forth (summer/winter?) thanks
