I’ve been digging into the quality of EHCPs, plans that parents are dragged through court sometimes to obtain, and that are bankrupting councils What’s actually in them? Are they good quality? Personalised? Include interventions backed by evidence? Are they fully funded? The answer often is no

Emeritus Professor Chris James passed away on 17th Jan 2025 and the world of governance, especially governance research, lost a great champion. Our paths crossed many times and we had some lovely discussions. Chris was not only extremely knowledgable, he was a very charming and kind man. 1/3

This is an entirely fair opinion on the actions of Bromcom to use the courts when they lose deals What I can’t understand is why the company thinks this is good practice, and how on earth it won’t put schools off from working with them?

Bromcom seem like absolute scoundrels to me. I've seen schools in dreadful circumstances because of their dreadful MIS roll out, and they've got the cheek to sue schools for going elsewhere and try to bully competitors schoolsweek.co.uk/mis-turf-war...
