The Special Educational Needs Tribunal
was set up by the Education Act 1993. It considers parents' appeals
 against the decisions of Local Education Authorities (LEAs) about
children's special educational needs if parents cannot reach agreement
with the LEA. The Tribunal is independent. The Lord Chancellor appoints
the President and the chairmen, and the Secretary of State for
Education and Skills appoints the members. But the Government cannot
influence the tribunal's decision, and the tribunal has no connection with
any LEA. Want to find out more? Please

 Changing Britain for good...We will only get things right for
everyone if we think about disabled people. For a long time we have treated disability as something that does
not affect many people. The truth is that disability affects
everyone in Britain. We won’t be able to
achieve the things we want to achieve as a country unless we deal with the
difficulties disabled people face. For example, the
government wants to get as many people as possible into jobs. It can’t do
this without getting lots more disabled people into jobs. The government wants to
end child poverty. The majority of families living in poverty include a
parent who is disabled. Want to find out more? Please

Holiday Care
is a national charity based at Croydon in south London and has been
established for 22 years. We are supported by the UK’s national tourist
boards, the travel industry and a number of well-known corporates, trusts
and voluntary sector organisations.
Our Mission
Holiday Care believes that everyone needs the opportunity to get away at
least once a year with family and friends. We aim to give disabled and
older people the chance to do that. We do not provide funding for holidays,
though we know a number of organisations who do; nor do we organise
holidays. Rather our mission is to help disabled and older people lead
independent lives by enhancing their ability to travel. This we do by
providing
information about transport, accommodation, visitor attractions,
activity holidays and respite care establishments, both in the UK and
overseas, which enables people with all kinds of disability to holiday
where possible in a mainstream environment.
