DS was turned down for a assess for a statement.Recieved the letter last monday but it was half term.SEN agreed to a meeting at school with SENCO,SEN and myself.This will be on 19th nov.
So i have been and spoke to SENCO at school today.She said she was aware DS might get turned down,because of changes being brought in.She said unless a child needs more then 20hrs on a statement,they will not get one.Not sure when this new rule comes in but think it may be next april.
She said DS would most likely have got 15hrs,so under the new rules he wouldn't meet the criteria.
Not sure what to do.Poor DS.Sad

Veritate my understanding is the panel have to look again at a resubmit.Then they have to send another decision letter.If they turn it down again i have 2mths to appeal from the date on that letter.
But i will ring and double check.
Thank you.
