Long long long story short (ish) …
My DD needs a specialist school - she wasn’t offered a place and we were told that she would be offered mainstream but they would look for a resource base. We viewed the only resource base in our area and it really isn’t suitable for our DDs needs
We decided to appeal the decision but have only just sent our appeal.
EHCP team contacted me two weeks ago to say - they believe DD does need a specialist place and they are putting plans in to expand the class in the specialist school we would like her to go to and that she is priority for this.
Friday i got a phonecall offering my DD a place at the resource base - i said thank you but no - we have viewed it , it isn’t suitable we will continue with appeal process. I was just about to walk in to an appointment so ehcp co ordinator said call back Monday to talk
im just wondering - if we say no to this place - how does this affect things?
do we say no to resource base place because a child who wants that space should have it ? If we say no does it seem we are refusing help?
If we say yes - does this stop our appeal? anything but a specialist school would be temporary for us
lost
any advice would be so appreciated x
