Скачать или смотреть Free School Meals webinar: What to do if your disabled child is missing out

Contact is proud to support a parent-led campaign, founded by Natalie Hay, aimed at stopping eligible disabled children missing out on free school meals.

As part of the campaign, Contact hosted a free online Zoom webinar for affected families in England and Wales alongside human rights lawyer Alex Rook and barrister Steve Broach.

This recording covers:

The law around free school meals and the duties on public bodies to make reasonable adjustments
What to do if your child cannot access a free lunch at school or college because of their disability, medical condition or sensory needs
New legal resources and template letters to help you ask your child's school or college for reasonable adjustments such as food vouchers

This webinar is useful for:

Parents of disabled children who are eligible for free school meals
Parents of children with an education package funded by the council (often called a EOTAS) or those without a school place
Schools and councils, as we know that many educational settings are unaware of the law around making reasonable adjustments
