The Association for Families of Independent Schooling (AFIS) has been urgently called to provide evidence for a landmark appeal to the Supreme Court regarding VAT on school fees. This is a critical moment for parental choice, and your story could be the turning point.
We are gathering data and real-life case studies from families who have been forced to move their children from private to state schools, or are currently planning to do so. Whether your decision is driven by a school closure or the sudden impact of affordability issues, your experience is vital to the strength of this legal challenge.
Why Your Contribution is Critical
The Supreme Court appeal represents one of the most significant opportunities to challenge the assumptions behind current policy. By providing concrete evidence of how these changes affect children and family stability, we can provide the court with the necessary context to understand the real world consequences of VAT on education.
Total Privacy and Confidentiality
We understand the sensitive nature of these transitions. Please be assured that all data and personal stories will be fully anonymised and treated with the strictest confidence. Our goal is to present the collective reality of families, not to expose individuals.
How to Take Action Now
We are working under tight legal deadlines and need to hear from you as soon as possible.
- Contact us: Please email AFIS CEO, Michelle Daniells, directly at michelle@afis.org.uk.
- Spread the word: If you know other parents who have faced these difficult decisions, please share this request with them urgently.
Your participation is more than just a case study; it is a vital contribution to a legal effort that seeks to protect the future of educational choice for all families.
Please reach out to Michelle today.
