[bjkmummy]

WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON - did is say WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

although my joy will be short lived no doubt with the forthcoming NIL - the teacher came out of it quite well - they were impressed by her but said that undoubtedly the level of support she was getting no could not be provided at secondary re class sizes etc. they also made no comment that the LA had provided no reports etc BUT this is the bit that concerns me and which I reckon the LA are going to throw back to us at a latter date

'it is not yet possible to state, once, identified, those needs would be so substantial that a mainstream school could not meet them effectively from their own resources but without a statutory assessment it is impossible to reach any firm conclusion about the necessity for a statement'

Oh that is just fannnnnnnnnntastic well done bjk you are blazing a trail here - you legend!!!!!

for you

That was a foregone conclusion really after all the dotty shenanigans. At least you'll not get any more doorstep visits for a while.

Hopefully after yet another defeat concerning your family the LA/school will just stop being silly and get on with doing its job now by performing a competent assessment and then writing and more importantly implementing a decent statement.

Been looking out for an update ....fantastic news well done you !!!!

Yay

Been looking out for an update ....fantastic news well done you !!!!

Great well done.

Fabulous news!

I read it as saying the LA will need to come up with a decent package of support in secondary i.e. at the top of the £6000 or above & the absence of specialist teacher could be deal breaker re mainstream, so the LA will need to find or employ one or contract it in private sector to have any prospect of making mainstream work.

Well done such good news

That sentence you are worried about. I can see why, but actually it is just the tribunal covering their arses and ensuring the LA don't even think about appealing, as they are not saying she DOES need a statement at this time. They probably think (from the evidence) that the LA are extremely stupid and need it spelled out.

Brilliant! I am so pleased. What a relief xx

That is great news bjk. Glad the Tribunal saw sense.

Don't worry about a possible NIL appeal.
You can recycle mine

Really pleased - a massive well done to you!

Well done, only just seen this but was wondering if you had heard yet. .

Well done.
