I've name changed for this. My DC1 attends a state special school in next county. It's a 45 minute drive away. I didn't feel special schools in our LA could meet her needs and provide an appropriate peer group (don't want to go in to too much detail here).
Anyway I've been driving DC1 since September and applied for home to school transport about six weeks ago. I've heard back this week that they won't be providing transport as it was agreed when they offered the place that I would transport. I never agreed to this, certainly didn't put this in writing, they didn't ask me in writing, and I know that I never said it verbally. They've given a couple of other reason as to why they won't agree.
They've said in the email, if I'm unhappy I can write in and they will review the decision. The decision is review by the of SEN services with advice from the SEN panel.. So the people who have made the decision get to review the decision?! Is this correct? I would have thought there should be an independent panel to review THEIR decisions?
Does anyone know if this is correct? Thanks
