Thanks guys - have remembered it was a peice on Wearmouth. Will PM the person who posted and see if they have any more info. Have taken some quotes about the transportation bit though. So far, since last Wednesday they have not responded to my questions on transport and how that will be funded. There was a very useful paragraph in the CoP that I will keep up my sleeve for a coupla days. Thanking you Clarkie

Thanks one and all Cheers Clarkie

Hi Kerre

Thanks as always peeps for the support. Well, the rocket is well and truly up the LEA's ar*e so let's see what the fallout is!!!!! Not a pleasant thought but one I hope to enjoy seeing. Fingers crossed.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR HEV HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU Love Clarkie

Hi Folks

And not in a good way. Sorry I haven't been around for a while - for the last coupla weeks things in our lives have not been too bad - I would even go so far as to say they have been great!!!!! on Wednesday I again pestered the LEA for our statement - they have sent an amended one since our meeting on Nov 22 after everyone agreed a 24hr curriculum - it went to the inclusion panel on 23rd Nov and was agreed - on Jan 11 I received another MAINSTREAM statement. I've been kicking off for a while with them - politely until now - but on Wednesday I was informed that the case was deferred from the funding panel and they say he has to go back into mainstream schooling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have contacted our councillor who has gone to the Director of Childrens Services and also the Lead Member of Young Peoples Service So - all you worldly wise folks - please give me all the ammunitition you can. C'mon guys - give me the ammo - I need all the help I can get. Cheers - Clarkie

HI

I've submiited my comments...but they haven't appeared yet!!!!!! I've gone under the name of Williams, just in case the County decide to hold it against our child.

What else can I say... Ditto everyone. L is an amazing girl and she should be proud of herself. And Mom, you must take the credit too.... Take the well deserved pat on the back that everyone wants to give you. We are all inspired by what you all have achieved. Sending you <'> <'> <'> and Am now in the mood to crawl into the loft space and get the decorations!!!! There'll be a star on our Christmas tree just for you guys. Luv Clarkie xox

I think that's a case of kids being kids. Please don't worry OK <'> <'> <'> <'> <'> Clarkie

I have been nagged all afternoon to climb into the loft and get the decorations down. Guess that's what I'll be doing tomorrow then!!!!!! By the way - I like real one , that isn't too prickly and it's bits don't fall off too quickly. Clarkie

Hi there Do you trust these doctors? If you do, then you must believe they will not reduce her medication for a condition as serious as epilepsy that would endanger your daughter. Sending you lots of <'> <'> <'> <'> <'> <'> and wishing you peace of mind. Clarkie

ditto all who read "fight" So glad we were all wrong. Hope you have a peaceful weekend. <'> Clarkie

Good Luck You're probably aware we've been going through this process so if there's anything we can do to help, then let us know. Be strong. Clarkie

Hey Annie Keep going girl. Don't let them get away with it. The very least they should do is write a letter of apology from the Governing Body. Good Luck Clarkie

TUESDAY IS THE DAY Clarkie

"Strength in numbers, victory through shared knowledge." That says it all, Phasmid. I'm still smiling and it's 10.40pm. What a BRILLIANT forum. Thank you all.

That's coz he's a brilliant kid.

Thanks guys, It is good news. They are calling me tomorrow to let me know when he can go up next week. Our County Councillor turned up at CSET today and spoke to the main man...... He has confirmed that our childwill definitely be going but it may not be until after Christmas. However, the main man also confirmed (when directly asked) that the delay was not to do with funding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah sure. All in all though - a good day Cheers to you all Clarkie

The school have just e-mailed me to say he can go up next week for his assessment. Will keep y'all posted. Meanwhile - please give yourselves a pat on the back for the help you've given us. Cheers Clarkie

Thanks All have found the COP excerpts and e-mailed them to the Statementing Manager Clarkie

Hi there Clarkie

Problem is - we don't have it on the statement yet. They gave us the proposed statement which was a waste of time so gave it back to them at the meeting last week with all of the specifics listed e.g. quantify time, who, how etc. The statementing manager says that at the complex cases panel today they stated that the school we wanted was agreed BUT it had to met by all 3 parties. I have just been on the phone again right now and she has confirmed that they will not agree emergency funding for the 3 day assessment. Also, the director of child services (or someone like that) is on leave until Thursday so by the time meetings are set up nothing is going to be happening any time soon. SS have also just had the sharp edge of my tongue (the wilkinson sword edge) Thanks guys Clarkie

Thank you all for the advice and support. Have posted in education.
