Special needs law update: A major examination board which denied a student reasonable adjustments in a forthcoming set of GCSE examinations ( due in only three weeks time) had to concede following a warning of judicial review. The student whose identity has been protected was advised that she had been denied her request for format changes to her examination despite her visual impairment because it was "unreasonable". However following the instruction of the Sinclairslaw special needs law team the examination board conceded, but only after being served with a warning letter threatening an urgent judicial review. Chris Mcfarland solicitor stated that this was a "victory for common sense" although was a "shame that this clearly deserving student had to turn to the law to achieve what should never have been denied." The story has made headline news this morning in the Welsh press. The student and her family are naturally delighted by the result. Special needs law has long established that both schools and all public bodies must comply with Equality legislation.
