Another thread from me to follow www.mumsnet.com/Talk/special_needs/2552598-LA-refusing-to-make-provision-in-Section-F-specific-What-do-I-do-now this one. Things are hotting up because the LA is meant to finalise DD's EHCP and name the secondary she will transfer to by 15th Feb.
This morning I got an email from the caseworker at the LA saying LA will pay termly fees at the indie MS secondary that is right for DD academically. BUT the LA says they won't pay for 2.5 hours of learning support a week and the school should cover as they are a 'nuturing, independent school' . The school need paying to cover learning support.
Dd's need for learning/mentoring support is vaguely referred to in her dodgy EHCP so there isn't a question she needs it - though because the EHCP isn't specific, how much is a moot point.
Apparently I have 15 days to make 'representations' to the LA about naming this school. I'm happy with the school but DD needs learning support and speech therapy (which it isn't mentioned that the LA will cover at all), so what do I do now? Presumably I can't stop the LA naming the school even if paid-for learning support isn't in place.
