BBC covering SEN in schools and assessing

[2boysnamedR]

I want to go on if anyone has the details. Going to Google now

Just saying...

Does this mean you don't have your statement? Or that you have already filed your appeal?

I don't have my statement - its overdue - tribunal order breeched

Its taken two appeals and 17 months of my life to get here = no where

My schools head said my sons are a 'significant additional cost to his school'

I had my LA rep leave over 1200 pages of my sons LA and NHS file in a public building

I have been called a liar and a bad parent

I have at all times been treated with utter contempt

My child is seven, has never had any qualified SLT at school but has a 3.5 year speech delay.

That's just the half of it

I'm pissed off to the core, in fact there isn't one once of me that isn't

Nice Polter. Covers a good range of things, and would help lots of people I think.

Oh *2Boys", I'm sorry.

I'll go and find some nice research for you

Back soon

s7
7.—(1) An irregularity resulting from a failure to comply with any requirement in these Rules, a practice direction or a direction, does not of itself render void the proceedings or any step taken in the proceedings.
(2) If a party has failed to comply with a requirement in these Rules, a practice direction or a direction, the Tribunal may take such action as it considers just, which may include—
(a) waiving the requirement;
(b) requiring the failure to be remedied;
(c) exercising its power under rule 8 (striking out a party’s case);
(d) exercising its power under paragraph (3); or
(e) except in mental health cases, restricting a party’s participation in the proceedings.

Hang on and I'll look over your previous threads and try and work out where you are - I think you are the one with the 'holding statement' and an EHCP but I have a rubbish memory

Back soon

No - you are just straight statement I think, although I am not great at tracing the thing back.

So forget the thing above if you don't have on-going proceedings.

So I suggest.
-check with the Tribunal just in case they have it and get it from them if they do

• Write straight to the head of the LA legal dept and say that they are in breach of a Tribunal and you are consulting solicitors about enforcing it via judicial review.

• And stuff the LGO and go straight to Maxwell Gillott to get legal aid for dc to enforce the Tribunal Order 17 months of dc's education is a lot. MG should be able to write a letter before action which will put the wind up LA-legal as their budget will be hit by the sen depts incompetence which won't go down well.

If you do have on-going proceedings then ask for an order under section 7 quoted above "that the LA's case in these proceedings will be struck out unless they comply with the [earlier order] by [insert date not far away]"

Hope that helps a bit

It does - thank you

Should have said that the Maxwell Gillott thing is for a JR in dc's name to enforce the order.

I take it that the Tribunal don't have it then

Here's a letter to the head of legal for you. I don't mind if you use it or not, it is really just because I want to do something to help...

[name - we'll call him Womble for now]
Head of Legal Department
[Local Authority - we'll call it Scroogeshire for now]
[address]

Dear Womble
[Appeal Number, mini-2Boys]

I attach an Order of the SEN Tribunal dated [insert] which requires Scroogeshire LA to produce a final signed Statement of SEN withing 5 weeks of the date of the order.

That deadline expired yesterday.

Please could you arrange for the SEN department to forward it to me by email immediately?

I am contacting legal aid solicitors to start the process of obtaining legal aid in mini-2boy's name, but obviously it would be preferable for Scroogeshire LA, mini-2boys and me if that, and any subsequent Judicial Review, proved unnecessary.

Please acknowledge receipt of this email by return"

Hope it helps

There's a programme about SEN assessments on Radio 5 Live on Sunday at 11.

I volunteered but they was full, seems there is a lot of kids getting screwed over.... I will be listening with interest

Happy Mother's Day!
