Lambeth Council Refuses to accept the review tribunal decision
Sorry to say that there is bad news. Lambeth Council has decided to appeal against the decision of the independent tribunal about Samuel’s right to attend his local school. In so doing, the Council is refusing to abide by the decision. Many of us feel that this is an outrage, and again let down Samuel and his family, and in particular puts pressure on his parents.
Whilst they work out what this all means, and how we should respond, a number of us are thinking that this is just unacceptable – that a body that is supposed to represent the people is effectively excluding a child on account of his physical disability.
The Moot Community is fully behind Samuel, and we will be seeking to support them once what is happening is established. To begin with, if you live in Lambeth, can you make sure I know so that if we need to commence a letter writing campaign, then we can draw on people in the same area.
More to follow.
