Ofgem also operates the Supplier of Last Resort process that has been put in place by the Government. This ensures that customers do not experience any disruption to their supply when a company ceases trading, and limits the impact on the wider market.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 24/01/2019 09:05:45 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

The Code further provides that an admission authority cannot discriminate against or disadvantage disabled children or those with special educational needs.</p><p>Any parent who has been refused a school place may appeal to an independent appeal panel. If the appeal panel finds that the school’s admission arrangements were unlawful, or incorrectly applied in the case at hand with the result that the child was wrongfully refused admission, the panel can uphold the appeal and the child must be admitted.</p><p>Anyone who believes that a school’s admission arrangements do not comply with the Code may make an objection to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator. The decision reached by the schools adjudicator is binding and enforceable by my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education.</p><p>In addition, where a child with special educational needs has an education and health and care plan, which names a school, that school is required by s43 of the Children and Families Act 2014 to admit the child.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 23/01/2019 14:14:23 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
