Felling nervous and excited at the same time. I have butterflies. I thinks I am ready but worried I will forget something. While I know I could lose I am comforted by the fact that the LA's actions have shown they are worried they will lose.

Thanks for they advice you all have given.

The process is too long. Ours started in may. One problem i found is that the reports completed in sa are our of date.

Yes we are July. First requested SA in January 2012. The whole system is a joke!

Cheese - hang on in there - the reliving is normal. I kept thinking 'I should have said..' and then remembered it didn't matter. Nothing that you did or did not say will have made the difference. You have done your best and no-one can do more.

Rosie - are you July?

CheeseToasty · 08/05/2013 14:14

Yes that is correct. Good luck!

Are the things that were agreed on the day things either you or the LA conceded in the room so that the panel doesn't have to intervene? I'm going for an indi SS so I'd better be mentally prepared that I might not get a decision on the day.

CheeseToasty · 08/05/2013 12:52

Thanks. I am glad to hear that my comments about the panel were positive.
There were some things that were agreed on the day rosielou.

Glad it went well. In my naivety I thought Tribunals gave their judgement on the day. So this is an eye-opener that they go away for agonising weeks to ponder!

inappropriatelyemployed · 07/05/2013 20:44

Glad it went ok. It's over. Whatever happens, you did it and made them argue their case.

Dinkysmummy · 07/05/2013 20:20

I hope you get the right decision

StarlightMcKenzie · 07/05/2013 20:09

Wish my panel were like that. Bunch of muppets.

Sounds positive. You're an amazing mum.

MareeyaDolores · 07/05/2013 20:05

Experienced
Asked the right questions

That sounds about as good as anyone (successful) I've heard

Icedcakeandflower · 07/05/2013 19:54

Well done for getting this far , sending honks for the outcome you seek

CheeseToasty · 07/05/2013 19:49

Thank you all for the good wishes.
It's finally all over now. I now have the dreaded 2 week wait.
I think it went as well as it could have. The panel were certainly experienced and asked the right questions. The set up did put me at ease but I am still very pleased I did not do it alone. Although another witness may have helped.
I am so full of adrenaline.
Please please please let us win!

lougle · 07/05/2013 06:35

Thinking of you too. And saying a prayer (if that's ok).

Can you make a really nice packed lunch for yourself?
Or if not, is it possible to stop in at somewhere en route and buy the poshest sandwich from the super-deluxe range? Never hurts to plan a few ridiculous, petty, secret victories... like out-lunching the opposition

StarlightMcKenzie · 06/05/2013 22:28

Thinking of you. Good luck.

Thank you all for the support. I can't wait till this time tomorrow when it will be over. I am wondering what this process will do to our relationship with school too. X
