Thats it really. It went well Shock.
Last year 4 hour face off / bloodbath while LA tried to pull DS ABA provision against all evidence and force a statutory reassessment.
This year had a AR as it was supposed to be. Evidence was followed. No-one shouted. DS keeps his provision for another year without a peep.
School, EP etc had got their act and evidence together so LA had nowhere to go with it but after years of battles still expected them to come up with some evil illogical plan.
All feels strangely surreal. Will I wake up and find its all been a dream?
DH and I can't quite believe they are going to leave us alone for a whole year.

well done, Agnes.

we have dd1's 3rd AR in a few weeks. Our LA have never contested (or even shown up!), yet I still approach with trepidation Hmm

I think once we have had to battle through the amount of shit we have, we are always on amber alert, waiting poised ready to spring back into battle.

I do wonder when I will properly let my guard down, though. Probably never, sadly.

But yay! for another year of provision - fab news Smile

Well done Agnes!

My AR went off okay today as well.

Silverfrog's third paragraph is particularly apt.
