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. clinic@liverpool.ac.uk

Parents & carers of children with #SEND👇
Do you have a child who is unable to attend school?

Yep – We’ve lots more to do here.
What’s interesting is the contrast between pupils who have SEND vs those who don’t...

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 👇

Our exclusions survey closes on 30 June. We would be grateful if it could be shared widely. If you would rather speak with us, please get in touch.

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

I'm delighted that Liverpool University law students Eleanor, Shaun and Libby will be gaining experience in my constituency office as part of our ongoing partnership with @LivLawClinic.
