thebuzzer Report post Posted October 22, 2008 Hi Everyone Just had some good news (to make a change). DS's Headteacher just rang me to say she has been told the LA ARE going to do a statutory assessment after all. We didn't even present our new evidence. The Ed Psych who came to see DS last week and his boss decided to represent to the panel and it was agreed. The LA are going to let SENDIST know that they are doing the Stat Assessment. I am so pleased. I do realise this is the first of many hurdles and that they may say he doesn't need to be statemented (yeah right!) or if he is given a statement it could be c**p! But I will cross those bridges when I get to them. Thanks for all the advice etc I have been given, no doubt I will be asking for more! Take care Clare Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thebuzzer Report post Posted October 22, 2008 Great news, hope the rest of it goes smoothly. Clare x x x Thanks Clare - I don't like to be a pessimist, but I am sure it won't be easy. My LA are pretty notorius - as most of them are - for getting out of it if they can. We will see! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted October 22, 2008 Brilliant!!! BUT - wait till you have it in black and white from the LA. You'll get written confirmation from Sendist as well. You don't need to withdraw your appeal. Sorry to be so cynical, but I don't trust any of em! K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stardust Report post Posted October 22, 2008 I'm with you Kathryn. Don't trust them further than I can throw them! Definitely get it confirmed by SENDIST in writing no matter what anyone else tells you. By anyone, I mean the LEA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
