What happens if I move houses regarding statement funding

[Feelingthepressure68]

Sorry had to name change due to all this hacking pavlova.

I am thinking of moving out of borough, but our current local authority will be paying for DS schools fees at the independent special school. What happens in regards of our statement/ funding in regards to moving?

The responsibility for the fees and maintaining the statement will move to the new LA!! They are allowed to reassess if they want to!!

I want to cross the border into the next LA but I'm waiting for things to settle down

Ohmygoodness! I guess I have to move somewhere in my borough.

What happens is that the new LA 'might' say that the only reason your child is at the independent school is because the old LA didn't have provision, whereas they do.

If it is the neighbouring LA you might be able to say that if they can find a school that is cheaper and can meet your child's needs, then given your child was not previously all that far away they would already be there i.e. any of their suggestions has already been ruled out by old LA iyswim.

whips would do a better job of enforcement

There's a possibility we may have to move, we will stay in borough purely to avoid messing the statement about!
