can see expelled soon

Had a thread about my ds 7 he very close to being expelled he hitting kicking throwing chairs most days. I still waiting for assessment at hospital so that apt could take months. I feel sick all the time

If they are excluding him so often and threatening permanent exclusion then they are admitting that they are not able to meet his needs. I would suggest you get on and request an EHC needs assessment - the local offer website should have the forms and you could get more advice from SOS SEN or IPSEA.

Is the EHC assessment only for Sen kids? My ds not been diagnosed so what if his issue is all behavioural? Thanks everybody for advice

It shouldn't matter that he has not been diagnosed with any developmental delay or learning difficulty. As your son is at serious risk of permanent exclusion and the school clearly cannot cope or provide the support he needs than you would certainly be entitled to apply for an EHC assessment. The behaviour your child is displaying at school means that he does have special educational needs (at this time anyway - he may well out-grow these difficulties). So you really should apply for one. Good Luck x

dIamond. Your son doesn't have to be diagnosed with anything to begin the assessment for a EHC plan. The headteacher sounds like he/she is stubborn and won't call the EP even though it is clear the school have no idea of keeping your son and others safe and preventing him from being excluded. In your position I would definitely make that call to the Local authority's exclusion officer for swift advice. You can apply for the EHC plan yourself you don't need to wait for school to do it, which by the sounds of it, may never happen. Good luck.

Thanks guys will look into it and speak to his dad

Behavioural difficulties are classified as learning difficulties, particularly when they result in the child getting frequent exclusions and being at risk of permanent exclusion. Clearly someone thinks there could be an underlying reason such as ADHD or ASD if you have been referred for assessment. As people say, you don't have to have a diagnosis to get SEN support.

Another day another suspension he managed to get out of school and run down the road! Another meeting Monday but he not allowed in school so really think he may be expelled. They finally called ed p and he booked until March. Now I am divorce
and his dad wants him to have fresh start new school and live with him and family. I don't know what to think I said his problems may carry to new school

How did the meeting go?

They decided he allowed back but will be one to one away from classroom. Behaviour specialist came in and gave advice. Ed psych booked for March as he busy. They will restrain ds if needed. Thanks for asking X

Well that's a good start. I would be asking what their plans are for re integration and how this will happen. I'd leave it until after Xmas though to give DS a chance to settle back in and build a relationship with his 1:1.

Well he hasn't been completely one to one last couple of days they let him to go to some lessons so he has been kicking off lots. He been restrained few times by head and head been punched few times. So from tomorrow he doing reduced timetable am only!

Check with Ipsea but that sounds like an illegal exclusion.

Head said it is not a suspension but you right what else is it.

It's an illegal exclusion. Your child is entitled to a full-time education.

Are you entitled to legal-aid?

Yes like LIZS said, this is an illegal exclusion. Without it being formally recorded your son will have much less chance of accessing any additional support he needs to get through this difficult period. Clearly he needs 1-1 support that can only be accessed (in the long term) by an EHCP and therefore his reduced timetable needs to be formally recorded. Good Luck x
