Mainstream whilst waiting for SEN

[failedatlifee]

My daughter is home educated whilst I wait for special school but have to go to tribunal, I don’t want to home educate anymore. Ipsea have said I should send a template telling them that I am requesting alternative provision, what exactly would alternative provision look like? Is it just a place in the nearest mainstream school? also will this affect tribunal negatively and them say keep her in mainstream? Or will it help? I feel like me having her at home is what the LA wants as it means they can wash their hands of her, so feel like I have to put the pressure back on them and let them see for themselves that mainstream is not right. Thanks

Thanks both, I’m just tired and exhausted so don’t want to keep repeating why mainstream wouldnt work. I’m exhausted enough repeating myself to the LA so I just want to know about alternative provision whilst we wait. I have come this far so I won’t be backing out now, if I wanted her in mainstream I would have done that 3 years ago. I will send the ipsea template to the LA and see what they come back with, I guess I don’t have to accept it if it’s not suitable.

It's OK, you certainly don't have to convince me!

You don’t have to take the offer of AP up. You can continue to EHE or you could pursue something that is suitable because an unsuitable offer doesn’t relieve the LA of their duty.
