At present, we have a system that is, frankly, not fit for purpose. It is a system that disempowers the very people on whose behalf education is being provided—parents. It should concern all of us, parents or not, that the current system leaves vital legal duties unenforced and unenforceable. We spend hours debating the minutiae of education law and the department issues statutory guidance, yet it might all have little impact on the ground because there is no easy mechanism to hold schools accountable when they ignore those laws and that statutory guidance. The avenues for enforcing that law either do not exist or lead to a dead end.
