Please help me, i'm not sure what to do!!!!!!!

Please see my earlier post re 'I'm so angry' on the general chat thread.

Longman I'm in need of some urgent support and advice.

Following yesterdays poor meeting at the College to try and resolve the issues raised, my son went into College today to hand in the completed elements of his work and was asked by a member of staff to sign 7 or so pages stating he'd recieved SEN support. This included 40 or so signatures next to dates he's meant to have recieved the support, but hadn't. Only 4 genuine signatures were present on the page he signed, which were all he had recieved for one years alledged support.

He was also asked to plagiarize another students work today, in order to complete his final module for distinction submission.

I suspect that this is because he admitted in the meeting he had had no onging SEN support and had notified staff, but was essentially ignored and was relying on a fellow student to help him complete assignments because he couldn't manage as the college had denied him the softeware necessary to demonstarte his ability.

This issue is obviously very serious as it indicates a deliberate act on the part of the College to cover up their failings with my sons provision.

I'm agast and very angry, but my son is completely crushed that he agreed to sign something he could neither read nor understand fully. He asked staff what it meant, but was told it didn't matter and just to sign it!' naturally he complied, but later realized it was the SEN support register

A serious issue and one that im not sure what to do about, Please help me someone!!!!

  • Most colleges make it a little difficult to contact the principal. You should be able to phone the college number and ask but you will likely be deflected to an underling who can only take a message, and whoever gets back to you wont be the principal, but someone fairly junior and unable to comment.

    If you look under "about" in their home page it should tell you about the mission statement, or a statement from the principal about the aims and objectives of the college. Sometimes there's a link to a personal email address and/or phone number off such notices, or somewhere closely related you should be able to get a direct contact number for his secretary or a senior administrator.
