Dd has been school refusing for 18 months bar 1 day where she attempted to start a new school
She has an ASD diagnosis and school based anxiety
LEA had been providing home tutoring which has now stopped due to her attending the new school for 1 day
We had the MAP meeting before the summer holidays, next steps meeting is coming up
I've requested that personal budget is included in the next meeting but have been told that dd needs to qualify for category 3 funding, which she doesn't. They said school could apply for it but funding wouldn't start until April and then it would be up to the school to decide how the money is allocated
I would like, and dd is interested, in attending online school -I would then build up her social interaction through sports etc (she currently attends 1 club -I feel that given time and support I could increase this)
Pretty much been told this isn't up for discussion
So what's the point of personal budget/parent choice etc ?
They've given me a list of schools to go and visit -I've been on their websites and to be quite frank, even if they gave away diamonds as an incentive to attend, I can't begin to imagine how I'd get her to attend
She's in year 10, a bright and able person -but is currently getting zero education
