A local authority that slashed children’s speech and language therapy by 50% to help reduce waiting lists has been forced to reverse the policy after a legal challenge that could have implications for other councils.
Coram Children’s Legal Centre (CCLC) sent a pre-litigation letter to Norfolk county council warning that the policy was unlawful after a mother of an 11-year-old boy, referred to as H, was told his provision was going to be halved.
