My amendments seek to provide a mechanism for holding schools to account by enabling a tribunal to rule where there are allegations that the law is not being followed. As the people who are best placed to know what is going on in schools are, among others, parents, it is parents who would be at the centre of the system I propose. It would give them a fair, effective and accessible means of redress through an expanded role for the First-tier Tribunal, which already has a role in education in relation to disputes over SEND provision.
