DD is 13 and has missed a lot of (current) Yr8 due to anxiety and depression. She has just started to see a CAHMS councellor re the anxiety (we are waiting to see child psyc re depression). Her school have not been supportive and despite having seen her CAHMS assessment want a letter from GP supporting her absence from school. GP has not done this so far (GP and CAHMS each believe other should do this )
CAHMS have suggested DD go into school for a couple of hours to learning centre one day just after Easter Holidays. Her Vision Support Teacher (not school staff) will be their to go through what school have promised to have in place by then.
DD does not feel ready to go into school AT ALL until after her eye operation (she has bilateral cateracts - her vision is v poor) but we do not have a date for op. We have been considering Home Ed. but CAMHS say this would be running away from the problem and will be harmful in the long term.
I had asked for work to be sent home via VLE, I have also had the local Children Not In Ed centre suggested to me but school seem determined she should go back to the environment that she finds so scary, and DD is loosing trust in CAMHS for supporting this view.
Is H Ed 'running away' from her problems? I don't know what to do next?
