My daughter has a variety of diagnoses, including ASD, ADHD and has significant developmental delay. Her primary school was late in applying for an EHCP, but eventually did so in year 6. This was completed in February, naming a mainstream school. During consultation we expressed a parental preference for a nearby specialist school, but the LA refused to name it as they did not respond within 15 days. They eventually replied saying they could meet needs, but the LA stated that the named school could not be changed. The SENCo at the primary school agreed that the named school was inappropriate for her. We therefore appealed to the tribunal.
However, while waiting for the appeal we were unexpectedly moved by work (both parents have the same employer and work together) to a new LA about 100 miles away. We moved at the beginning of term. The new LA received her EHCP from the old LA promptly but have shown no urgency and have not, as yet, named a school. They have sent out consultations, but both mainstream and specialist schools have said that they are unable to meet her needs. She has therefore now missed her first half-term of secondary education and is not receiving the interventions in part F of her EHCP. She is becoming very stressed about the situation, and is playing repetitive games about taking her dolls to school.
I wonder if there is any advice, please.
