Hello,
My children have just been placed on child in need plans due to 5 year old DDs additional needs. She doesn't have a diagnosis but she obviously has very complex needs and won't be allocated a disability social worker. She is in the middle of an EhCp assessment and is 1 to 1 at school.
What can I expect? Ideally the main 2 three things I would like
- some sort of provision for holidays as she is really difficult. School is adequate breather time for me in term time but I'm not sure how we will get through holidays. School, I and social care all agree she can't attend mainstream holiday club provision
- some support getting out of the health care system deadlock. She is complex and each service keeps passing the buck. I can't keep going round in circles and getting nowhere. Once we know what we are dealing with then we might stand a better chance of dealing with her.
I'm partially hopeful of some proper support but I'm also terrified I'm going to be wrecked as a parent and be blamed. What sort of support can I ask for?
