A mother is taking legal action against a school over claims her son was made to wear a hi-vis jacket because he is autistic.
Joanne Logan said seven-year-old Charlie was asked to wear the bib in the playground to help staff keep an eye on him.
The mother, who has
five autistic children, last year condemned the 'disgusting' move by Cherry Lane primary school in West Drayton, west London, branding it "massive discrimination".
She has now taken Charlie's case to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal and hopes to win on behalf of all families raising children with special educational needs. Charlie, who was diagnosed with autism two years ago, has since been taken out of school and is being home-educated.
Mrs Logan told the Daily Mirror yesterday: "I just want to make sure no other autistic child is put through what we were and it needs to be challenged."
