Why parents are taking councils to court over special educational needs
"Terrifying" and "massively overwhelming". That's how one mum described the prospect of taking her council to court to get the special educational needs support she thinks he needs.
She also had to sell her car to fund the fight.
In 99% of cases, councils lose. ITV Anglia's Neil Barbour tells Lucy Watson why so many councils still face off with parents, at significant costs to them too.
Lucy and Neil are also joined by Claire Rooney, the founder and CEO of EHCP.org.uk - a new platform, launching soon, to help parents through the process of applying for an Education, Health and Care Plan.
