Phase transfer stress

Just wanted to moan really. My son is in year 11 at a special school and it doesnt have s sixth form. So he has to move setting. Well there arent any if life skills arent appropriate. He's that moderate need level.

He might manage a specific practical course in a localish FE college with support. They do interviews and all the non ehcp children find out in thier interview if they get an offer. He has to wait for the college to see his ehcp before an offer. This is a slow LA process. So people keep saying 'how was your interview' and he just has to say he doesnt know but I can see its making him feel bad.

Its just such a mean system.

Earlier phase transfer but also feeling stressed. Sending empathy🌸

It is an awful system isn’t it? I do sympathise Flowers

Well everywhere said they cant meet need

So now we have to have an emergency review to see if the ehcp can be changed in a way that needs could be met if they reconsult but the ehcp is impossible to write as his needs vary by setting and noone reassess them anyway

So more paper work reviews and shenanigans for a chance at college

Same system, different nightmare. It's like trying to hit a moving target blindfold isn't it.
Is EOTAS/EOTIS relevant to you?

Just regrouping and thinking of next steps.

Im sorry to hear that.

I feel like sending the consults out should be the easiest bit?

Like isnt it just an email...
