Statements !!

valley girl

I am sure that many of you out there have been through the nightmare of refusals to assess,refusals to issue statements and trying to deal with Sendist. We took 3 years to get my nine year old sons statement and we were over the moon when it arrived in July. Great we thought - things will be much easier now. Not so !! Even though he has a statement for 23 hours a week I am still having to chase up everything, go and see the teacher everyweek and generally check everything is being provided. My relationship with the school is getting worse rather than better.

My son is in Year 5 now and we need to start considering secondary schools. We try to be positive but I cant see him surviving there let alone making progress.

Is anyone else feeling this way or had the same problems  or have any advice !!

Are Statements worth the paper they are printed on !!

  • Thanks everyone for your replies. I think I will have reconcile myself to the fact that I am always going to be following up and checking that my son is getting what he needs at school. I really feel that most schools only pay lip service to the idea of inclusion and I have the impression that my sons school dont want him there really. I Still I am feeling a lot more fired up since reading your replys and ready to take it all on.

    Good luck to anyone out there going through the statementing process. Its heartening to know that we are fighting for our childrens right to an education. Lets not give up.
