Is it a no no for teachers to help with proposed statement?

[eggandcress]

On Saturday I received the proposed statement for my dd which I thought was fine and I emailed her teacher and SENCo to see if they agreed with me.

I have not heard anything from them. Is not appropriate for them to comment on proposed statements? Perhaps I should not have asked them?

They cannot make official comment or have a say in the final statement or whether they agree or disagree with it but, if they are on side, they are able to comment to you - if they wish.

They'll have seen it already. the LA have to send the school a copy of a Proposed Statement.

Personally I think asking school to look at it is like a poacher telling a gamekeeper where he intends to poach that evening.

Ah that is probably why they did not reply - they might have thought an email reply would be too official
