Ds1 starts school in less than 2 weeks. Everyone has been working hard to get everything ready, school, nursery, autism outreach worker, even the SALTS(!!). An important part of the transition is that ds1's nursery key worker accompanies him to school initially. Partly to settle him in, partly to train his LSA and partly to translate. Despite myself and nursery going on about it since July the LEA still haven't managed to agree the 16p per mile travel expenses that the key worker needs. It has been suggested that we submit the request to a committee meeting scheduled to take place AFTER ds1 starts school. We've spent the last week on the phone passed from pillar to post. I have just sent a stinking email to the head of preschool services saying it would be a shame if ds1's school start is delayed due to "administrative complications". I put inefficienceies first but thought it was a bit rude.
It makes me so mad, between us the nursery manager and myself have made eight enquiries about this topic and still nothing happens- really we both have better things to do with our time.
