Hi,
I will get around to speaking to IPSEA/parent partnership etc but have had a huge amount on my plate this last month so hope someone can just give me some pointers so I can start planning a bit better meanwhile and get my head around things and get something done in a sensible time before the deadline (early Sept) to appeal.
DD was turned down for statutory assessment. When I write the reasons for appealing against this decision does it need to be short and concise or do I go in depth and start referring to parts of the SEN CoP, quoting parts of her medical reports and the school's application paperwork. If so roughly how many pages have people produced for this purpose? The school sent a huge folder of paperwork originally for this application. Do I copy this whole thing and send it to the tribunal people at this point? One of the things the LEA commented in a negative way was about the huge amount of paperwork that had been submitted (hopefully I can throw this back at them in the tribunal!).
I am planning now to get additional reports done privately for DD. Do I just state this to the tribunal at this point and ask to be able to submit these later, or do I just wait until I get them then contact them about it?
We are planning to take this to tribunal on our own at this point, though may seek some sort of help from an advocate or solicitor further down the line if necessary as I anticipate a fight the whole way.
Thanks
