If in the middle of a statementing battle would you now refer to the old SENCOP or the new one?

[Ineedmorepatience]

Sorry for the really long question!

We are between tribunals for those who dont know, we won the refusal to assess and the LA produced a NIL so now we are preparing for round 2. There some very relevant phrases in the new SENCOP but someone told me I have to stick with the old one as that is what I started with

Anyone know the answer??

Thanks wassup, that could be useful for my meeting with the LA on weds as that's there case for tribunal that her needs can be met by 6k rather than looking at her needs individually

Thanks wasuup

My LA issued a statement and according to the panel minutes only because of parents anxieties and that we would take them to tribunal if they issued a NIL!

We're going to tribunal now because of a crap statement where they have said that DS needs can be met within the 13 hours that all schools are expected to provide from within their funding.

His current interventions take up 7 hours a week and then there's the cost of the specialist teaching service fortnightly which equates to about another 1 hour TA time per week. Therefore he will get a max of 1 hour a day in class TA support.

This is for a child who is 7 and diagnosed with moderate dyslexia (by the LA EP), is on a level 1c in Y3, made no progress on a whole year of wave 3 intervention and his statement says he needs a highly differentiated curriculum, his understanding checked, is not working independently, needs to be kept on task etc etc etc.

Bloody cheek sazale !! The senco at Dd3's old school noted my anxieties several times in her paperwork for the SA!! She lied about Dd3' NC levels too have I already said that!!

I am glad that you LA panel told them to issue a statement. Last yr my LA sen team did not have a "panel" although I have been told recently that they have again now!

My experience is that the statementing officers see the pot of money as their own and they are not only corrupt but they aint sharin

No panel here either over the decision to issue statement /nil, sen officers decision who hates me with a passion...... We are the one and now will be only nil ever to be issued in my LA. Wow aren't I lucky!

Sat here waiting for la to contact me over whether we are meeting to or row as I've asked them outright what they want to discuss....... It's now oh so quiet which I think says a lot

The anxiety is fall out over my DD's case that they conceded earlier this year. They colluded with social care and NHS and I now have paper evidence to prove this! The problem now being that the same people who were fed rubbish about us by the previous SEN manager are now involved with my son and are carrying those false impressions with them.

A panel member is actually noted as saying that maybe they should provide parents with support so that it will help DS as we are the ones causing his anxiety!! Considering he has never met us or our DS I wonder how he managed to come to that conclusion!!

I was feeling utterly sick when we recieved information about Dd3 which I had known all along but that school and the LA were denying.

I wish I could be amazed that they seriously have absolutely no respect for us as parents but I am not surprised about anything anymore.

Its like by virtue of being a parent we are automatically pigeon holed as anxious and neurotic when actually we have all proved time and time again that we do really know more about our children than anyone else!!
