So it looks like where I'm headed

Has anyone done this for non issue of statement after it was ordered by tribunal?

I'm sorry - I've no experience. But this is just dreadful and appalling behaviour by your LA.

I had a friend who did it for non issue of a finalised statement so stopping her from appealing as she wanted an indie school - the LA as part of the JR process actually then named her school choice as they were delaying initially as they wanted to name another school so for her she got the best possible outcome. everyone else in her LA who wanted that school ended up at tribunal.

a JR could be quite quick but it also gives the LA 2 weeks to respond as well which isn't brilliant but a JR letter further down the line if you end up at tribunal again would make damning evidence

I heard of a solicitor's letter before action for social services because they had failed to answer the question as to whether their case was that social services were currently meeting the dc's social needs, or whether htier case was that they were not.

But I think you are just looking for an irrational/unreasonable decision by the authority.

It has to be very irrational, like you LA 2boys not just a bit irrational like hand-delivery of letters to bj on a Saturday....

I have used JR against my own LA (surprise surprise) where my sons statement was not being adhered to - it did get it resolved and I thought my LA would then behave (yes I can hear you all laughing and nearly 4 tribunals later...........)

I would tomorrow get the ball rolling 2boys as you have been more than reasonable - you have tried to do everything that you possibly can and im so angry for you that you are in this position but JR also hands the power back to you as well

It's not a question of irrationality, it's a straightforward breach of the law about the timetable for issuing statements. I very much doubt that you'll actually have to go as far as taking them to court, I think you'll find the statement magically appears soon after they get the pre-action letter.

bjkmummy · 24/03/2015 18:46

I agree with ici - that pre action letter will be enough because they are clearly and absolutely in the wrong, they will not want this going anywhere near a judge. but what makes me angry is that you have to go through this in the first place but again it will make compelling evidence if you need it further down the line

I'm so p'ed off.

My toddler has to pass this panel of f wits to get into specialist pre school.

You'd think at some point they would stop and say "let's stop screwing this kid over as his mums not giving in" but no, they don't get it.

Your heads on the block, the axe is raised and yet you still keep cocking up - I don't get it, I really don't.

Again, my mantra must be "I'm herpes, screw me and you'll regret it forever"

I don't feel like that. I feel like my son is an abused piece of meat

Your son has you 2boys - and that is his great good fortune

ouryve · 24/03/2015 23:48

You think they'd learn from past experience, 2boys :(
