So phoned sen. Officer again this morning , she's not in so I went for a shower and took the phone with me after dh nightmare yesterday for them to phone whilst I was in the shower - cue a very wet me!!

They are issuing a NIL. They've offered me a meeting?! She has made the decision as a lone statementing officer - it has not gone to panel.

There is an interesting paragraph in the last tribunals judgement which states ' we share the concerns about DD's future provision on secondary transfer. She will be in much larger classes and it is highly unlikely if not impossible that any mainstream secondary school could or would match her current level of support '

So I said how in earth is she going to cope in secondary then? She didn't answer that question. How are they going to get round her at nearly 11 having expressive language skills of a 6 year old - I'll tell you how cos I bet they have ignored every single one of my indie reports.

The assessment has been a 4 min phone call from the medical people and a 20 min assessment by the EP meeting DD, he did no assessments of her whatsoever! He used an out of date dyslexia action report.

I did tell her we had margo sharps report coming and that she had said that my daughter was in the autistic spectrum.

So off to bloody tribunal for the 3rd time in bloody 2 years. Time to get saving, selling my kidneys and go back and finish my shower and then let the photocopying begin to get it lodged today.

Hi bjk, I have just come back from a campsite with no wifi [or any kind of phone signal] and have read your post.

I am so sorry your LA have issued a NIL Sad

The decision about Dd3 was also made by a single statementing officer and not a panel!

I have had various communications with various senior members of the SEN department but not got anywhere.

Our appeal papers came back while we are away and the date is January Shock

Such a long time Sad

Get your appeal in quick.

it went special delivery today I need so should be there tomorrow - I was wondering how long the hearing would be as the refusal to assess was quite quick and the date was about 3 months so was kinda hoping this appeal would be similar but im guessing not and mine also likely now to be January as well

My refusal to assess tribunal was quick too and yep I probably foolishly hoped this one would be quick Sad

Its a sodding nightmare isnt it!!

I have been in dialogue vi email with the Director of Childrens services over the schools report which was seriously inaccurate.

She passed me on eventually to one of her minions, who tried to fob me off and then buggered off on holiday!!

Oh Gee Hmm Angry
