I can't believe I fell for this s**t - advice please?

[BuffySENsational]

It's a bit long and complicated but here goes...
So family relocate to new LA oldest child has a statement after SA for Aspergers,ADHD,Tourette's and others. Placed in a maintained special boarding school life is great again until we move. New LA don't notify me. Bombard me with info so I ask independent advisory service (parent partnership) to advise me and then. Well child is placed from a school for children with Autism and complex learning and emotional needs to a medical alternate provision against my wishes. Told couldn't go back to old school as had to choose a school from local offer. 85 or so weeks later LA decide to do an AR and lo and behold my child should be trailed back into mainstream from this alternate medical provision. School placement has disintegrated and am waiting for the EWO to visit anytime after tomorrow. I have only got through to IPSEA at end of Mar and am now waiting for my proposed amended statement which they will send me "in a few weeks" or so they wrote 4 weeks ago lucky me!!! I can't JR them I don't think until they have actually made a decision and I can't appeal until they amend the statement. I do t qualify for legal aid. I can't work. I don't know what I'm doing and to top it all the nasty feckers have just informed me that they intend to transfer him to ECHP by next July. I have CFS and processing difficulty when stressed so I was a lamb to slaughter until after the AR now I will only communicate through letters or emails. Anyhoo that's the gist of it and my first thread starts breathing and repeats

You can lodge an appeal in August.

Hi claw Thank you.

I'm guessing the Cheerios finally got finished

That's good as I thought the Tribunal place was shut over the summer holidays... That's assuming they send it in time

I'm guessing that I absolutely should not ask for a meeting or send in my amendments as that will mean we are negotiating and they get even more time?

I still feel a bit sick I looked at the tribunal website but I can't even work out which form to download never what my grounds for appeal are

Hi buffy, half finished Cheerios! We would need all day to finish!

As far as I'm aware it's only schools who stop for school holidays. Tribunal and la staff still work. Only reason things get put on hold is assessments etc can't be done in school hols.

Lodge your appeal, then negotiate.

Do you necessarily want to them to amend the statement quickly if it names the school you want and they're making noises about non-attendance at the school you don't want?

Hi Buffy im just trying to catch up, what makes you think that you won't get the final amended statement until August 10th?

Update I have emailed corporate complaints and apparently the apology I have received is not the official response to my complaint which means I think someone in the la has inadvertently admitted maladministration which might just change things slightly but I'm not sure how to find out

Omg, that is so bad. I'm speechless.

It's just rediculous.

How long has DS been out of school now?

Morning all I need lots of

youare he's been off since middle of May and will be off now until he goes back to his school named in part 4 or a closer suitable school.....

Social Worker called a child in need review for Mon so I emailed her and said I can't make it until week after next as pretty sure school and LA and attendance officer will all be present to grill me and I need to prepare
