A community group in north London has launched a petition supporting a family who are fighting Barnet Council over their disabled daughter’s education.
Sabrina Leigh, who suffers from a type of cerebral palsy called Worsted-Drought Syndrome, was turned down for the funding needed to send her to Langdon Jewish residential college in Manchester.
The council says there are sufficient local alternatives available to the family and religious needs are not a factor when making their decision.
After reading about the family in the JC, Laurence and Debbie Davidson, of the group Edgware K, sent out an online petition to their 12,000 members in the hope Barnet reconsiders.
