The 7 threads
The spine of the site — each thread maps a duty, the law behind it, and who enforces it.
01
Safeguarding
Keeping children safe — what schools, heads and councils must do, and who they must tell.
02
SEND and the EHCP
The legally enforceable support a child with special educational needs must receive.
03
Education out of school
When a child is not in school, who must arrange their education — and by when.
04
Complaints
The official complaint process — its stages, its timescales, and how it fails.
05
Regulators and escalation
Who actually has teeth — and who says 'not our jurisdiction' and points elsewhere.
06
Governance and conflict of interest
Who governs a school, and the rules meant to stop them protecting their own.
07
Medical conditions at school
The duty to support children with medical needs so they can access education safely.
