I'm exhausted. This is such a woe is me post but just humour me if you want to.
We are appealing lea's decision not to statutory assess dd, who is 11 and only spent just over a week in school, for the first term in high school.
She's extremely anxious but desperately wants to go to school. We want her to be at school as this situation is Jo good for anyone.
Anyway, long story short. Lea phoned and said there will be an early intervention referral made, to social services!!!!! Where someone may come to the house and 'encourage' dd to go to school.
They want to try everything else first before doing SA and only doing that as a last resort.
I told them I'd practically begged the school for help in the first 2 days that she was there and continued to mither for weeks. As they never put anything in place this led to her anxieties growing :(
They don't want to talk about the past and want to concentrate on what can be done now. I just said I hoped it wasn't too long after the horse had bolted.
At the end of the call I said I was still appealing and got the reply "oh, ok then" as if that call was going to change my mind.
Dh thinks I should get in touch and turn it round and say that dd needs the SA to enable her to be put in the correct school. The school and lea are very concerned that she's missed so much school and are only thinking of her education, rather than her health.
I don't know what I expect but just needed to vent a little.
I'm exhausted. Not sleeping well and always feeling sick and dizzy with worry :(
