i have to name my witnesses by monday
LA calling ed psych and OT (who is actually on our side and is against the LA but hey ho :-)
im calling my private ed psych and private OT
my sons school cannot meet his needs - needs new school, found a school have it in writing there is a place for him - the LA response to tribunal is that they need more time to consider both OT reports which they have had since end of sept.
my school choice head cannot attend the tribunal as its in half term so he is on holiday - its fine as ive got everything i need of him in writing
i did consider calling someone from present school but the head has gone on maternity leave. we are a primary academy linked with secondary academy. secondary academy senco contacted me today as she has picked up his case. she is not happy with whats going on and the delay by the LA - she mentioned today she would be willing to be a witness for us but needed to speak to the principal.
anywat me being efficent and thinbking not going to do the LA tactic and serve teh papers at the last possible minute at 4.30pm today went to the post office and served my witness list special delivery on tribunal and LA solicitor which they will get tomorrow
got home and at 5.15pm the senco phoned and left a message to say - yes i will be a witness!!!! why o why didnt i wait :-(
my plan is is to contact the tribunal tomorrow and ask for her to be added on - technically i had until monday to name my witnesses so i am hoping they will be sympathetic to me - its not like im doing it the night before tribunal as tribunal not until february - im hoping this makes the LA sit up and blinking do something as we have the schoolas witnesses for us not them which i think is unusual
so please reassure me that teh tribunal/LA solcitor are going to be okay about me changing my witness list that ive only just sent to them! think there is a moral to this story for me
