Sen school, slt and ot provision

[Justrealised]

Shamelessly posting here for traffic as the SEN board doesn't get too busy.

For those with children in SEN school with onsite therapists, do you have their input specified in section f eg 1 hour direct therapy per week with a therapist trained in....

The LA are removing current provision wording due to a move to a school with onsite but wondering if we should roll with it rather than fight as in theory the provision should be there and incorporated into the curriculum but it goes against everything I thought in regards to specifying and quantifying.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience.

It's stayed in my son's ehcp.
They shouldn't remove it just because it's provided on site because the ehcp is a document of your son's needs, not what the school provides. If he had to move school for any reason or if the current school no longer had the provision on site and its not in his ehcp, he wouldn't get the provision.
Fight it and keep it in.

This was my thought too

If it isn't in section F then the school don't have to do it. Fight it.

I'd say it needs to still be there.

Yes SALT and OT is specified in dd's as well. You should fight to keep it in because if the school suddenly loses their on site SALT or OT you would have nothing to use to ensure your child still gets the provision they need.

Thank you all for the replies, i needed to read them. We have a hearing in a few weeks so trying to get resolved before.

I went back and reread the LA'S comments and they've wrote that they want the school to write the provision in the working docvbased on what they offer! I can't see that being able to stick. Removal isn't based on professional reports either so yes fighting it.

Wouldn't it be nice to just trust them.
