EDUCATION & HEALTH
I get many emails and or messages from the public (Professionals [Clinical], Parents, Teachers, some students, Education Professionals etc) asking me to explain the BWillicott v UK case & how I used basic domestic and International Legislation as well as applying the science (public health) to support said.
To save time, I will make this public so that others can share the info and be empowered. (Unfortunately I can’t reply to everyone).

NORMAL-LIKE-ME SEND RESEARCH SERVICES - NOT FINE IN SCHOOL
Janet Willicott, trading as Normal Like Me SEN Research Services was born out of legal necessity in 2015 and registered in 2016 when Janet Willicott was denied access to further legal recourse in UK Courts when trying to appeal against a corrupt and unlawful Local Government [London Borough of Barnet], the specialist SENDist Court’s and its decisions including being denied an appeal in High Court due to ‘the possible length of appeal and cost to the tax payer’ when seeking Suitable Education for her severe complex disabled son.
What is a ‘Suitable Education’? - Suitable Education is where the environment is considered enabling and thus allowing the Child or Young Person to thrive to his or her potential. An enabling environment is a legal domain and term used under the UNCRC for Child’s Rights.
Domain 5:
Indicators:
- Non-discrimination
- Best interest of the child
- Respect for the views of the child/child participation
- Enabling legislation
- Best available budget
- Collection and analysis of disaggregate data
- State-civil society cooperation for child rights
There are 181 Countries who have signed and ratified the The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Child’s Rights) [UNCRC] and therefore MUST be legally compliant when providing for Children and Young People; there are 5 domains that Governments, Legislators and anyone who is making decisions for and on behalf of children and Young People must uphold.
Those domains are:
1. Right to Life
2. Right to Health
3. Right to Education
4. Right to Protection
5. Enabling Environment for Child Rights
Unfortunately and regrettably , the latest data published by KidsIndex in May 2019, has reported that the UK is now 181/181 (LAST) when in comes to ensuring that Domain 5 is upheld.
