And at that point, my boys are in nursery, so I just did it myself.

And I could see them ignoring the law.

The law is very, very clear.

It says things like professional advice must be very specific and quantified.

It must say exactly what is required.

But then the reports came back very vague and it said things like, oh, they need access to books, sharing books with an adult.

And I thought, well, I think every child needs that.

That's not really provision.

And I kept saying to them, hang on a minute, doesn't the law say this?

And they would just ignore the question like I hadn't asked it.

And I just thought, am I going a bit mad here?

And in the end, they were saying they wanted to send one of my twins to mainstream and one to specialist.

Wow.

And I said, he's never going to survive in a mainstream school.

And then they said, oh, well, in that case, the only places we've got are in a school for profound and multiple learning disabilities, the most severe category of disability.

And I said, well...

They don't have that either.

That doesn't make any sense.

So I ended up having to go to tribunal in 2020.

And I go to this hearing completely unrepresented up against this barrister.
