A lawyer from the LA phoned me today to arrange the bring the tribunal paperwork to my house tomorrow!! And no this isnt *bjkmummy*!

[Ineedmorepatience]

Nothing to add really other than to say that I told him he would have to bring it to my workplace which he wasnt that chuffed about!!

Jeepers, creepers David and Goliath here we come!!

I wish they had spent the money on provision for Dd3 !

did they use legal peeps last time ineed? its just madness at the moment in tribunal land - think ive heard it all but every day something else makes me realise I am far far away from hearing it all - my phone went at 7pm and I think that was my LA ........

No they didnt and as far as I know they havent requested a change! We havent done a new attendance form as this was the ajourned tribunal!!

you would think though they would have to 'declare' the change wouldn't you? why do they need to bring it tomorrow? surely they could have posted it today? im thinking you have a deadline tomorrow don't you? what are you expecting tomorrow?

Yes a 12 pm deadline for the LA to provide what the judge asked for!! I said he could come at 1 but he insisted on before 12 but I wanted to stay in control so said he would have to come to my work!

I have asked my rep if they would need to declare a change and know that the LA rep cant go aswell so need to watch that!

He said it was a substantial package but that seems odd because the Judge only asked for a few things!!

I bet they are just trying to freak me out!!

i reckon then as your LA rep cant go that's why they have a legal person instead. did you get their name? and then have a google........

No I mean the LA rep cant attend at the same time as the lawyer!! Not that she cant make it!

My LA are apparently handing all tribunals over to the legal team!!

Yes I will have a google!

Sorry polter just saw your post, the tribunal is about 3 weeks away!

It isn't bj as they deliver only on Saturday....

They may have a new Ofsted or something.

Or just a load of policy guff that is available on line.

They are unlikely to have stirred themselves into getting lots of decent assessments.

Nope only the EP has been in and she didnt do any assessments!!

Friday afternoon at 12 is nearly as bad as a Saturday senvet

Our LA seem to hand all tribunal stuff to their lawyers then back off completely. We had an appeal in when the LA decided to look at our case again and go ahead with DS plan, but as far as the rep was concerned this had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with our tribunal appeal for refusal! The lawyer, being a LA lawyer more used to contracts and property matters, had very little idea what he was doing.

Can you keep the lawyer waiting in reception for a while?

Well he will have to wait on the step bilberry because we wont know if he is CRB'd

Lets hope its not raining!!

Have you had your bundle yet? Might it be that? Under the new COP it looks like it's the LAs job to put it together

Not expecting a bundle! The judge requested a few reports and asked for them to be sent to us so that I could respond!!

We have to get Dd3's up to date views too!

This is refusal to assess or nil? Cricky - what's the world coming too? I had my sons entire la file given to me for no reason after adjournment. Even the la rep didn't know what was in it it's designed to freak you out idiot

It's all quite bonkers. Poor you.

substancial package. they are trying tohide something in there in the hope you do not find it. get help reading it.

it will be faff I guess like the school Ofsted, prospectus, policies with blanket polices blah blah blah.

Ha!! Well the seriously over paid Postman Pat lawyer turned up at my workplace and I took delivery of a very pretty folder through the fence

It is full of Dd3's work, dozens of assessments many without explanations. There is also the sheets that we get from reviews but one has had minutes from a meeting which are inaccurate added on. I havent seen that one before

Then there is a SALT report written by a salt who has observed her once during a pragmatics group and an assistant who also observed once. It is very gushing but no mention of functional skills when stressed or anxious!!

Oh and a video of Dd3 doing drama and she is rocking while she is waiting for her turn which they obviously didnt notice

We will see what happens next!!

It's just to bump up their evidence 'pile'. Stuffing is all it is.

Yep I think you are right starlight! There is lots of page dividers and extra bits of paper stuffed in. Including a wad of pictures that Dd3 printed off google images for her dinosaur project

Hopefully the judge will see through it!!

The judge really needed to know more about dinosaurs - may be able to detect them more easily when they appear before the Tribual.....

HA! senvet that actually made me laff out loud!

Rofl! Bunch of muppets.
