Wow!! 2 tribunals in 2 days!! And now we wait. Some flaps and honks would be lovely :-)

[Ineedmorepatience]

Had to go to a tribunal yesterday as part of my job as a senco and today as a parent!

Exhausting but felt like both panels listened to what was said, fingers crossed for a good out come for us and the other family

That must be a record

Flapping and honking for a good outcome.

Thanks keep and polter

Flapperty-honk!

I hope it goes well for both families. :)

:-)

Oops

Flapping and honking for both families and well done to you for getting through it!

Honking madly for you! You must be exhausted!

were they both refusal to assess? how long were the hearings? good luck with them both

Aaahh thanks all, I am a bit wiped out but hopefully I will sleep tonight

bjk Yes they were both refusal to assess and they lasted around 3- 3.5 hrs.

Mine today involved more breaks but much more talking from individuals. Yesterdays was alot of Q and A's. Both panels listened and the person who wasnt the judge in mine clearly had good knowledge of Asd!

Just glad that bit is over!!

thanks i need - im thinking ahead about childcare and whether i will be back for the school run! my last one was a part 2 3 and 4 so lots of witnesses.

2 in 2 days must be a record though!

Wow, that's intensive, Ineed. Well done and good luck!

I would have backup plans for after school care, just in case, bjk.

Oh massive good luck to you, Ineed

Good luck x 2! Sound exhausting

Thanks for your support folks, I couldnt do any of this stuff without the support from everyone on this board!!

It is 1/2 a day for refusal to assess bjk - we had a 2pm start which was awkward for school ect, we had to get a relative to help out. Mine was on Tuesday - so now awaiting result.

Wow! Have a good rest (for awhile) .. All the best!

OMG, You poor thing!

Hope it wasn't the same judge.

Lol, no ra ra it wasnt but the court staff recognised me which was quite funny.
I can only guess that most people dont turn up at sendist tribunals 2 days running in a hoody and jeans (not the same ones may I add )

I was relieved it was a different panel as they might have found it difficult to see me as a parent on the 2nd day.

hoody and jeans?

I wish I felt able to wear a hoody and jeans at my ds' tribunal. I was most uncomfortable in my grey swishy skirt and white jacket which have both sat in my wardrobe unworn ever since.

Yep actually I made the clothing decision for exactly that reason. I have some issues with clothes and would not have been able to speak up confidently if I was dressed up as something I am not.

I have a very thick skin when it comes to clothing and dont actually care about what other people think about me and how I look.

As it was World Autism Awareness day yesterday I carefully selected a hoody with an autism awareness slogan on the front
