Fed up! Draft is taking too long!!!!

tiredeyes

Bounce and Bumblebee had their draft statements done the same week 4 weeks ago, Bumblebees came day after it was checked over a few days after been done, Bounces however is still with member of staff for coming upto 4 weeks awaiting to be checked over before being sent out. SENARS has said there is no issue with it so why in the hell is it taking so long!!!!!

SENARS are very well aware of the issues at current school and know that the aim was to get them out of their by end of this term now we are looking at next year :( even eduaction department for transfer of schoo, for fouler (nt) is taking way too long! its been over 6 weeks now and not one letter from them, phoned them up to get answer message saying I should hear within 5 days of receiving request but nothink!!!!

 

All I want is for them to get the help they needand for Bounce to have a full time education that he is entitled to (currently only allowed 2hrs and 45 mins by current school!!! :(   ). Even my health is getting worse and demands of other kids is more on me now support workers for older 2 are barely doing crap for them!!!! (why i dont now, but can never get to talk to them has they are either on visists or on annual leave!!)

Would just like for once to have the neccessary support and eduaction my kids are entitled to and a little less time running back and forth 9 miles every day!!!!

  • Still no sign of Bounces draft statement, am getting really P'd off now has there is now logical reason why it hasnt been signed off and sent out!!!

    I understand all the staff shortages and holidays but it was written over 2 months ago and still in their hands!!!!!! grrrrr (sametime has Bumblebees which we are awaiting for school to reply!!)

    At this rate my NT son will be leaving present school first leaving me with Bounce and Bumblebee going to present school 2.5 miles away and dealing with a whole load of crap. Bumblebee already has issues regarding Bounce not being in school full time has he used to be!!! Now I am gonna have to start preparing him for Fouler leaving and starting new school if all goes well wednesday!!!!

    I know it has been ages since i went through the statementing process but it def was a lil less stressful than now!!

    Can anyone remember how long it took them from getting draft statement to child moving schools???? I have already looked at schools back in september so shouldnt be much of a delay!!

     

  • Have poken to SENAR several times lately and it has been written 5 weeks ago and wont be sent out to new year now!!!! All that we are waiting for is for it to be signed off and then got to wait over a week for someone to post it out! Luckily they are going to send copies to relevant schools I have mentioned in last phone call. So a little good news but not good enough!!!! Have had Bumblebees for 5 weeks now and they both were done in same week!!!

  • hi Tiredeyes - many on here will understand your frustration, esp about something so important.  In many ways it's quite clear what families need, once the info's been gathered together, but then it can go wrong, either because of ignorance or personalities coming into play who have their own ideas about things + the power to implement those ideas, or because of drastic budget cuts, or because people are away from the job in some respect.  Whatever the reasons, it does the child + parent(s) no good at all, in many ways.  I don't think there's a lot worse in life than feeling powerless.  But we have to keep battling on to get there.   You could make a formal complaint.  Hope things improve soon.  bw
