invent 10 things b4 breakfast Report post Posted January 27, 2006 Mt son has just had a Statement review and we asked in our Parents Contribution for a home school book. I have a s*i*y letter back from the Head quoting the following, "we do not feel it is necessary or appropriate for the teacher to engage in written reporting, beyond that required for school review meetings. Teachers will report incidents to you that they judge to be appropriate/significant." Now I remember someone here posted about a similar thing and how they are not making "reasonable adjustments"? Can someone help. P.S. I have already filed for a Tribunal anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

invent 10 things b4 breakfast Report post Posted January 27, 2006 I just got on my high horse and phoned The Disability Rights Commission, they were disgusted and said yes it would come under "reasonable adjustment". I have to phone back Monday to speak to an Education Advisor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LKS Report post Posted January 28, 2006 Hi posted on Mother eve's thread about this. The only one who seems to think it is a good idea that school communicate with me via this book is the salt, but she has said she can only make suggestions to the school, whether they decide to implement them is another matter. The Head has told me any communication between myself and the school would be in the first instance via the L.s.a's they have found face to face meetings far more effective and home/school books have not worked in the past They will put comments in the book if they think they are pertinant (sp) My dd is about 4 years behind her peers in speech and communication so I feel this book is essential, unfortunately the board of governors supports the heads idea as well. My problem is if the L.S.A's nab me first thing in the morning or straight after school dd is always there and gets very unsettled if we are talking about her, she also wants to get straight home in the afternoon, also there are other parents trying not to listen I can't for the life of me understand why the school will not co-operate.

invent 10 things b4 breakfast Report post Posted January 30, 2006 Spoken to the Disability Rights Commission this morning, they say that if my child, who has Aspergers, cannot come home and tell me about his day because of his communication problems then the school could be in breach of the DDA 1995 Act 4. She has recommended I write a letter to the Head with the following, this was taken from their website as an example letter. Hope this helps some of you guys! Dear Head teacher Child?s name I am writing as the parent of a pupil at your school who has (disability). This affects him in the following ways: ? ? ? Part 4 of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 says that the responsible body of a school must make reasonable adjustments to ensure that disabled people are not placed at a substantial disadvantage in comparison with people who are not disabled. My child is at a substantial disadvantage in the following ways: ? ? I think it is reasonable for the responsible body to make the following adjustment(s) to ensure that my child is not placed at a substantial disadvantage: ? ? To avoid a potential disability discrimination claim I would like the school to make these reasonable adjustments immediately. Yours faithfully Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
