NO IEP for 18 months...

[SOTIRIA]

I have emailed school asking for an IEP for 6 months. I have had 2 meetings requesting the IEP and specific support. Some progress has been made but not enough. HT says IEP will be ready asap BUT ITS JULY!!!!! There is no point now.

What can I do now? Parent Partnership has been involved for 2 years.

Shall I complain to the chair of governors?

Who else could support/advise me?

Complain to the Local Authority as well as to the SEN Governor (every school has one). But do it in writing - you need to ensure you have created a record on file.

Thank you. I will send something to the Chair and ask them to forward it to the SEN governor. I know several governors personally but parents are not allowed to contact them directly. I spoke to the class teacher today and I think she will get into trouble but it's really the head who I have been emailing and I don't want her to be scapegoated.

It's the SENCO who should be blamed. They should be maintaining the records of SEN children so should have known your IEP has not been updated.

Of course in some schools the Head his/herself performs the SENCO role
