Im sorry to ask for your insights and help once again I just don't know what to do. My sons due to start secondary school next week - a big transition for him. To cut a long story short he gets transport as is outside the catchment area. This transport has been mostly ok until big disruption in June when they declared they'd only pick up/drop off at home address (8.30 & 3pm). Managed to get back to my sons normal routine of them dropping him at his childminder three days so didn't pursue further at that time. Now they are flat out refusing to continue this advising only the home address.
The reasons this is catastrophic is because as a single parent if I don't work I can't support us. His had enough to deal with without me being unable to support us. We'd lose our home and everything. Whats more he has an amazing relationship with his childminder and that would go too. I have begged and pleaded with the council and sent complaints to everyone I can think of but I'm running out of time. I can't send him to a different school because this is the only one that has a unit within the school that would fully support him without him feeling singled out. It feels the council are trying to force me out of work. Surely having a child with additional needs doesn't mean you can't work?
Please forgive me for saying but its been such a challenging year that I have seriously struggled to get through on more than one occassion. I feel so alone. This has been a massive blow and just one too many. If I can hold it together I will challenge them again tomorrow but feel I have no dignity left. Has anyone else had this problem and please help me reach a resolution. This as I say is a big transition for him and the last thing I wanted is the disruption this will cause if a resolution can't be reached tomorrow.
Thanks in advance x
