NIL is going to be converted to statement

[2boysnamedR]

Parent partnership have told me. I have been advised to write to as many people as I can pointing out what documentation the LA have that points at this being unacceptable. Including the tribunal order.

I have been at A&E with dyspraxic DS who split his head open. I was told to go through all his needs and recommended provisions. I don't think I have the time.

Could I just say what I expect to be shown to panel, that I want my email detailing these documents to go to panel as well. Then if I get the NIL as a statement do a FOI request to see what went to panel for my appeal?

Sencop quotes about specific and quantified please?

Ideas? help!

do you even know the date when it is going to panel? then how long till they let you know/ you see the statement? I would be tempted to JR them now as a warning shot that a dire NIL convert to a statement aint going to cut it or make it better. If you have heard none of this direct from the LA and just from PP you are in reality still completely in the dark about what is going on

Jr letter has gone out.

I am writing the email and asking for it to go to panel ( in a few days)I have pointed out that no one in the la is talking to me.

Can I pm it to you? Trying not to come across that I find the lot of them utterly incompident and vindictive

of course glad you have done the JR letter as well. my LA started to talk to me but now they've all gone silent again! will they never learn? well we know the answer to that question don't we!

Its in draft form. I expect nothing to be done, its appeal fodder now. That's the only person it has to sway.

i cant sway the LA. That would imply they are open to reason

Am I right in thinking that the tribunal said the Note in Lieu had several glaring omissions? Definitely send them a copy of the decision with the relevant bits highlighted and say that if you have to go to tribunal to get them to pay attention to what the tribunal said you will be asking the tribunal to order them to pay your costs.

ici just posted this on another thread
"Refer them to page 166 of the Code of Practice - the bit that sets out what should be in section F of an EHCP, especially this bit:

• Provision must be detailed and specific and should normally be quantified, for example, in terms of the type, hours and frequency of support and level of expertise, including where this support is secured through a Personal Budget

• Provision must be specified for each and every need specified in section B. It should be clear how the provision will support achievement of the outcomes."

We also had this on the other thread
"The case for requiring hours to be specified is L v Clarke and Somerset and is summed up in the new code of practice at Paragraph 9.69
“Provision must be detailed and specific, and should normally be quantified, for example, in the terms of the type, hours and frequency of support and level of expertise..."

Sorry about the A+E trip - hope dc better soon
