Removal of statement - should I be worried?

[JodyJHerts]

My 14 year old son has cerebral palsy and has always had a statement throughout his schooling. He is only physically affected (uses a wheelchair) and is doing very well academically. I have just heard that the education authority is suggesting his statement is no longer necessary. Just want to know if this affects the scribe/extra time he will get for exams etc. He also has one on one help for PE. Other than that he is very independent. Any thoughts, should I be concerned?

It doesn't have to affect it, but I would be clarifying with school... Particularly if they are going to be picking up the tab directly for any 1-1 that was funded by LA...

I actually don't think they can remove it without annual review and all professionals agreeing it is no longer necessary, though?

Maybe post on the sn children board and link - more traffic?

IPSEA and SOSSEN should be able to advise you - can be difficult to get through to just keep trying
