Mother sues autistic son's primary school for making him wear a hi-vis vest
Quote:
A mum-of-five has taken legal action against a school she claims forced her son to wear a bright yellow bib in the playground "so teachers know he's autistic".
Joanne Logan says she wants to win a landmark case so no other children like seven-year-old Charlie can be made to wear markers that single them out as "different" from other kids.
She has taken Cherry Lane Primary School in West Drayton, London, to a disability tribunal, claiming it discriminated against her son.
The London mum, who has five autistic children - two now adults - says she wants to win the case on behalf of all families raising kids living with special needs.
She cannot seek damages in the case - but says the fight is not about money anyway.
“I just want to make sure that no other autistic child needs to be put through what we did and it needs to be challenged - and if this case, if it’s won, could change that,” Joanne said.
“I have had a lot of people say they’ve had similar. It can affect a child as they get older - they realise they’re different.
They know all these things. They just want to be accepted… we need to stop singling out our disabled kids.”
