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 !!

  • Thank you.  I have now gone online and applied for a statement.  I have just posted all the relevants documents backing up my application (Letters from CAMHS, the paediatrician and educational phycologist and the Occupational Therapist).  Having read through them again I cannot see how they refuse a statement but I am not holding my breath.  No double I will be back asking for advice when I get the rejection letter.

    I have tried calling IPSEA for the last 3 days and just cannot get through but I will keep trying.  It just goes to show how many people are having issues.

    Thanks for your advice.
