i really need some advice please. I sent in my parental request for an EHCP last week and to my surprise they replied today and said that my request will go before a Statutory Assesment Panel next week! I expected them to take the full 6 weeks they're allowed to do this. I have been told over and over again that the borough I live in almost always refuses an Assesment so of course I want to make my case aS water tight as possible. I have given them copies of EP report, SALT reports and written a 6 page request documenting reasons why ds should be assessed. Do you think I should send at this point my emails that have gone backwards and forwards over the last 7 months at school which I clearly speak of ds anxiety and stress and the schools lack of meeting ds needs OR will this be over the top. Should I save them when it will be refused and I have to go to a tribunal? I have emails where I explain that ds absence is due to anxiety at school, usually following an incident with a NT child or a teacher. Should I just hit the panel with the whole lot at this point? Also, I can't afford a solicitor to help me so can someone recommend an organisation that could at least give me some support even if it's just a person who says - say this or say that. TIA
