ALLFIE supports SEND Action court case – report

We recently wrote about the background to this case and this week we went along to add our voice to those protesting at the betrayal of disabled children’s human rights. We are waiting to hear the judgement but meanwhile we’d like to say a huge THANK YOU to the families for taking this case on behalf of disabled children all over the country and to SEND Action for the massive amount of hard work they have put in. We look forward to working together in future.

As supporters assembled outside the court, campaigners spoke about the issues:
