Do the deadlines stop and restart in September?Thanks Karen Hiya We went through the statementing process at the summer holiday time as well last year. I was told by the teachers that its not done through the holidays and then told that the lea do work through the hols. The difficult bit is getting hold of the school during the hols. I think our teachers concerned couldnt be bothered really. It did go through in the end and only one part was a few days behind schedule. Ring them up and ask.. xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annie Report post Posted July 11, 2006 (edited) Hi Karen, The following link from IPSEA may help http://www.ipsea.org.uk/sevenfixes.htm#AskingforMeeting Scroll to 'Asking for a meeting to discuss your childs proposed statement and expressing a prference for a school'. It includes a model letter too. If you need any help checking the statement, click on IPSEA's home page from the above link. They have a helpline. They are busy, but please keep trying, they are brilliant Annie xx Edited July 11, 2006 by annie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flora Report post Posted July 11, 2006 IPSEA is 'shut' today. I tried calling them earlier and they are only open on Wednesday and Friday this week. I'm assuming because quite alot of kids have broken up already. My dd broke up last Friday. Lauren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiley Report post Posted July 11, 2006 Hi Karen, I'm in the same situation - ish. I'm waiting to hear if LEA are going to proceed with the statement (ooohhhh they better!!! ) ......... but it is all going to be happening during the hols if they so - I asked my sons EP and she's doing her 'bit' now, as she knows nothing will be done without it, and nothing will be done after end of July.............. Might be worth giving the EP/School a gentle reminder - just to make sure.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
