my daughter is 11 and is on the small steps waiting list referred by the school. She shows signs in school as being autistic. They have been really good with trying to make school a better environment for her and she has the option to go into learning support away from mainstream each day and choose what lessons she would like to go to. She’s non verbal in school and hates children gets very angry when they go near her. But gets upset that no one will be her friend . she hates going to school and I struggle to get her to get out of bed on the mornings . she often goes to school late and her attendance is dropping . I’m worried that the council will start to threaten to fine me soon. Does anyone know the process and rules with council fines and struggling to get a SEN child into school ? I don’t want to pull her out and home school but was considering half homeschooling and half going to school to take pressure off my daughter ..
