rach04 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) the proposed statement that is still sort of numb and of course j doesnt know what the fuss is about. 6 Long years of fighting the system. Now its the fight to get him in to sn school cause the one they want him to go to is a 45 minute walk and has no unit, but hey ho just feel like half the battle is won. Thanks to you all that have supported me over the last year and a bit <'> >< Edited March 15, 2008 by rach04 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purplehaze Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Hello, Congratulations your one step closer. i'm in a similiar situation. I have had my proposed statement for a while but didn't know what school to choose. I decided to choose the mainstream school my son is in (reluctantly) as he was very anxious about moving. I am still waiting for the LEA to let me know if the school have said they can meet his needs. Good luck with the next level. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rach04 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Fab news, I'll be comming your way for tips! Janey no problem hun. everyone here is soooo special and i wouldnt have done it without their support even my ridiculous questions thanks everyone It doesnt state how many hours though is it supposed to Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baddad Report post Posted March 15, 2008 It doesnt state how many hours though is it supposed to Oh very yes! I feel almost guilty saying that, 'cos the last thing i'd wanna do is pee on your bonfire, but it does need to define hours of 1-1 support (or whatever support is being offered), along with concrete intervals for things like S< etc. Even if you are really happy that the current school will provide what's needed and don't actually feel the need for defined hours, getting changes to the statement later on are always harder if you haven't got it all in B&W from the outset... LEA's love phrases like 'as required' and 'appropriate levels of support', and 'at regular intervals' because they are purely discretionary. They've been slapped on the wrists for it many times at tribunal in just about every county across the UK, but they'll still do it if you don't challenge them Sorry <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hes in his transition year and the amount of support they give could be the difference between sn school or home ed thankyou baddad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
