Ds is year 7 and has ASD.
Chose school based on local offer and believed it to be the best place for DS.
They are doing all they can through Sen support. I've applied and been refused an EHCP assessment and have appealed to tribunal.
Ds has been deteriorating since not long after starting secondary school and now has clinical levels of anxiety which has resulted in a referral by Camhs options to the primary health service for CBT.
Meeting with school yesterday resulted in them suggesting a managed move as they are concerned my relationship with school is deteriorating. I have to say this took me by surprise - not least because I've never felt this is about me or what the school are doing but about DS and what he needs or any more he made need to meet his needs - based on his deteriorating MH.
I declined at the time stating I didn't feel a transfer to another MS school would resolve situation if they have exhausted everything. It would just be same difficulties, same solutions but with the added pressure on an already anxious child to transition and settle somewhere new.
However having come home and read about managed moves all the literature seems to suggest it's done when the child is at risk of exclusion and to give them the chance of not having it on their school records and giving them a fresh start.
I'm confused!
Is it common practice to suggest a managed move on the basis a school feels a parent doesn't trust them because they've applied for an EHCP needs assessment?
