Hi BOO & thanks for your msg. My background is with HMG Forensic Audit. (Carrying out financial investigations - with folk like Benefits Agency, Local Authorities, Police Authorities, HMRC, etc. and with a view to prosecution.
I'm extremely comfortable in a Court environment - just don't know much about education legislation &, therefore would appreciate any appropriate advice. Also, up 'til now, my brief (from work) has always been "don't talk to the press. Now, ' though, I'm a parent of a little girl who's been traumatised shitless!
I've also known the LEA's Director of Schools Policy for quite a few years. It's a good relationship and she was sent recently to sound me out because of that relationship. In this respect, I know how scared the LEA is as they, via. the actions of their officers, have broken more than one law both in the UK & ECHR. I think they are keen to know if we'll "role over" (stupid queation). I'm just curious to know whether they really know just how much brown stuff they are in!
So I do need your guidance re: Education Law (I also believe in the maxim; "it's not what you know but ......").
