IPSEA (a national charity active in supporting children with special educational needs) applied for judicial review in relation to the status of non-statutory guidance issued by the Secretary of State in a document called the ‘SEN Toolkit’. The court refused to grant a judicial review but gave useful guidance on how the guidance in the toolkit might be amended and clarified and the context in which it should be viewed i.e. as secondary to the statutes and statutory codes.
