Draft plan

[superplumb]

And it isn't worth the paper its on.

Its basically only mentioned his emotional regulation and concentration...not that he cant hold a pen or write properly. It also pushes it back onto thr teacher ans TA. They can't manage which is why I asked for 1.1
He has been given 25 hours but the senco says this isn't a 1.1 and it will be for someone to pop in when he needs it.
The problem is is once my son had lost it..you cant get him back really so he needs someone close who can identity his need and step in

Ive sent the draft to sosen for a review but its £145. Ill try ans find the money but will they improve the form? Im at a loss as to what to do.

Any advice appreciated because im losing the will to live. Ive beem waiting over a year to get to this point and all they've done ks basically suggest what is already happening!

Poor drafts are not uncommon.

Unless 1:1 is detailed, specified and quantified in F, 1:1 doesn’t have to be provided.

What SOSSEN can do with the EHCP will depend on what the evidence is like because the content of the EHCP is based on the evidence.

Go through all the reports with highlighters. Highlight all DC’s special educational needs in one colour and all the provision to meet the needs in another colour. Each need should have corresponding provision.

Then go through the draft and make sure all the highlighted needs are in B and the highlighted provision is in F.

Make a note of anything the LA has omitted from the draft, any needs without corresponding provision, any woolly and vague wording, anything the reports have failed to include, and any reports the LA has failed to include.

When you go through F, look out for vague and woolly wording. For example, “access to”, “would benefit from”, “regular”, “up to”, “or equivalent”, “opportunities for”, “as appropriate”, “would be useful/helpful”, “such as”, “e.g.”, “etc.”, “as required”, “as advised”, “key adult(s)”, “small group”. Provision must be detailed, specified and quantified, otherwise it cannot be enforced.

When you find vague and woolly wording, check the reports to see if they are woolly and vague or if the LA has watered down provision. If the reports are vague and woolly, ask the LA to go back to the report writers to make the reports detailed, specified and quantified. If the LA has watered down provision, request the LA stick to the wording in the reports.

Also make sure any health or social care provision that educates or trains is in F. For example, LAs like to put things like SALT, OT, physio, etc. in G (health care provision) when it belongs in F.
