My DS is 4 and due to start school in September. At the panel meeting where his EHCP was approved, they also agreed to a specialist school place for him. However, they've since had the SN schools admissions panels, and are saying there are currently no suitable places available, and our preferred SN school is full. They have not currently come up with a solution and are basically just dithering about!
Do the council have a legal requirement to find a place for my son in a SN school as their panel said he needs one, or can they just provide support and say he has to go to a mainstream school? At the moment his EHCP hasn't been finalised, so there is nothing in the placement section so I can't appeal anything at the moment.
I would appreciate any advice on where we stand please.
