Could the refusal of transport be viewed as a failure to make reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010?

Can a young person register a disability claim whilst in college for failure to provide transport

Can a Local Authority refuse a private diagnosis or request that they are ratified by their own health board?

Under the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 (ALNET), support for a child is based on their needs rather than a formal diagnosis. However, in practice, some local authorities or ASD-specific settings require a formal diagnosis, sometimes insisting on NHS confirmation. Waiting lists for NHS assessment are long, creating delays for families. Parents may consider obtaining a private diagnosis.

Can a family register an ETW claim for disability discrimination whilst attending College?

Teacher ask for child to be collected from school because he was throwing things

Teacher ask for child to be collected from school because he was throwing things
What support can I access to assist my son, who has been having behaviour issues that have been increasing for 6 weeks? He has been vocally matching other children in the class (it is important to add that my son is verbal, and the other children are non-verbal, as in they do not communicate using words, but I guess they communicate both using their device and vocally). My son will continually be vocal and disturb the class, hit the teacher, hit other children, throw things at the assistant teachers and other children. He has an autism diagnosis (level 3) and has been attending the education support classes at the same school for 5 years without any behavioural issues until recently.
The first 4 weeks, this behaviour was communicated to me by writing in the communication diary, which is kept in his school bag, by speaking with Dad after school during pick-up, and through a behaviour support plan that was sent home for me to sign and return the following day. The strategies included him requesting a break, requesting to go to another class, or the sensory room. If this is done five times, he is rewarded with a treat. During this time, I expressed wanting to meet with them because of the things written in the diary, but his dad, the messenger, let me know they (the teachers) said this was not necessary because they thought they could deal with it, and the strategies they were using were helping.
Last week, I requested a meeting in writing via email, and we met later in the week. I said I was concerned about the things written in the diary and was not sure why no one had called to let me know at the time of the incidents. I also wanted to follow the same strategies at home but had some issues because of different parenting styles between me and Dad. We will meet again tomorrow with both parents and his therapist in attendance. He was excluded from school today because they were unable to stop him from throwing things at other children, and he was placed in a class by himself. I understand it is a safety concern, but what services can I access? What steps should I take? What can I do as a parent to help my son with his behaviour issues?

I would like to know if the LA, rather than the school, should lead when the grounds for asking for an emergency EHCP review involve a safeguarding issue in school.

My child has a neuro-degenerative disease and has been physically restrained without any consideration of the potential to harm him. The LADO is investigating, but the LA is delegating the EHCP review to the school. Is it the case that the LA should take the lead where safeguarding part of the reason for an EHCP review?

Can a University refuse to consider an appeal where they failed to properly consider the equality act as they only allow appeals on the basis of procedural irregularity??

Following the outcome of a complaint to a University, I wish to appeal the decision. The grounds for appeal are either a) new information that was not available at the time or b) procedural irregularity. In reading the outcome letter, it is clear that they have not properly applied the equality act and related guidance in their consideration of the complaint. Would this come under procedural irregularity?

This is regarding the reasonableness or otherwise of a request under reasonable adjustments. Note this is something that is a fairly standard adjustment in most higher education and other institutions and their own university wide guidance says should happen, but the academic department in question has ignored and argues that the workload is too high or too complex.

My child has been denied a special school, what can I do

My son is almost 4 and will be starting school in September, they have denied special school as he is a band 7 you need to be a band 8

He is non verbal, doesn't understand commands, barely turns his head to his name, the 2 mainstream schools I had to put down have came back to say they can't accommodate his needs, which I understand

My son attends nursery 9 hrs a week with funding of 1 to 1

I have explained no offence to my child but it will be like having a feral animal in the classroom, obviously this is why he needs a special school, he doesn't understand and will do his own thing, it won't be fair to him, the mainstream school or the other pupils

It went back to panel (EHCP) to question the 2 schools

I had time to think and got angry, I wrote an email stating why is the panel ignoring his needs, every professional person in the EHCP advised he had complex needs and why are they ignoring that he needs special school

It has been passed on to the panel

What can I do if they still say no

I have never heard of exams being sat at home. My son has a separate quiet room - would that work?

Can a disabled child or young person sit their examinations at home?
