7 year old - perminant exclusion

Mortality

My 7 year old Autistic son has this week been perminantly excluded from his mainstream school.

While his exclusion is probabily justified and he probabily did try and harm his TA.
I am concerned that there maybe discrimination issues at the school relating to my son and other special needs children there.
I am also concerned that my sons funding (via statement) may not have been used correctly to help my son.

What I need to find are discrimination laws relating to the disabled and some information about how the statemented funding should be used.

Any help and advice would be most appreciated.

  • Hi Mortality,

    So sorry to hear that you are going through such a difficult time right now. 

    There are a couple of organisations that may be of some help to you.  The first is the Advisory Centre for Education who should be able to tell you your legal rights in all of this.  This is the link to their website.

    There is also OAASIS

    http://www.oaasis.co.uk/

    The NAS helpline may also be of some help to you here as well.

    It might also be worth asking your Local Education Authority about how to appeal against the decision to exclude your son, if this is what you would like to do, of course.

    I do hope the above is of some help.  Good luck.
