Cost Benefit Ratio

Cases involving specialist school placement are often extremely complex. The cost of placement at specialist school can be extremely expensive and over the number of years that the child would attend could easily add up to sums in excess of a £250,000 to £500,000. We have recently successfully undertaken a case against one Local Education Authority, where the cost of specialist school fees, owing to the severity of the child’s needs, amount to £250,000 in a year. If you were seeking sums of money of this nature, by way of personal injury compensation (i.e. if you have been in an accident) then you would not expect to recover sums of money of this nature without some good independent professional evidence, a specialist solicitor and Counsel.

SEN Legal can take on the problem for you. We can advise you about the best way forward, help you to find suitable witnesses with the necessary forensic skills, identify the relevant issues and evidence, and points of law which promote your case, prepare the appeal and Case Statement, and make any applications to the Tribunal for directions and arrange representation at the hearing.
