thebuzzer Report post Posted March 18, 2009 I wanted to get a idea of how long part 2 of a statement can be and whether anyone has had any luck getting this part more detailed and therefore longer. I know each child has different levels of needs so each statement will vary. The proposed statement I have had for my son is one side and under the communication section it is woefully inadequate. I have gone through the SALT report (which was brilliant) and his teachers report and added in what I feel describes all of his needs and instead of 3 small parapraphs I have one side. Parent Partnership have said that I do not need to be hung up on how much longer it is now (2 sides and 8 lines), but having not seen anyone elses statement before I would be interested to know I am not asking for anything to be put in that was not in the Stat Ass reports, its all there a clear as day, just not in my son's statement.

Kathryn Report post Posted March 18, 2009 One and a half to two sides is about the norm, difficult to generalise as it depends on the complexity of needs, as you say. Longer than that and the LA are possibly woffling! Concise is better as long as all the needs are clearly described. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kazzen161 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 It can be as long as it needs to be. I think T's was about one and half pages, but it probably should have been longer (more detailed). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
