[senco-forum] Brain-picking again!

Hello,

Still trying to sort out matters with my son's school.
Wonder if anyone can tell me the responsibilities of
the LEA? I have asked them to intervene but they have
(thus far) not done so to any effect. Threats of the
ombudsman have resulted in some activity but I have
little hope of this making a difference as the
authority does not consider itself responsible.

If the head teacher, the Chair of Governors and the
LEA do not consider themselves responsible for the
school, who is? Who is ultimately answerable?

Following advice from other posters on this forum, I
now have a number of options in terms of my own case
(thank you!), but what about others? How does somebody
without my resources defend their parental rights or
even know those rights?
