School have taken my son off Iep

mumof4boys772

Ok we have our first Taf in December, school bout in a private Ot and are buying in a private Ed pych, my son sees the peadatrician every 4 months, salt and audiologist.

My son is regulary threatening to kill himself and trying too, school know this, my son is getting massibley anxious about school too so is kicking off most morning.

What is going on? surely he should still be on an iep?

  • Hi NarniaAspie,

    Not sure if your situation has eased a little since your post. I just wanted to say that I am a new-ish SENCO in my school and all the new Code of Practice changes are still being worked out in some schools and Local Authorities, it's tricky. My advice, if you haven't already done so, is to contact your Local Authority and see if they have parental partners on the SEND team who can advise you on what support your child should be receiving if they do not have a Statement or Education Health Care Plan. As far as I was aware, schools have to put in support for individuals in the first place, using their own funding (always a tricky issue) and then in future and if appropriate apply for an EHC plan, so support should be being offered if there is not EHC in place. Also check out your school website. It is now necessary that all schools should put information regarding SEN, known as a Local offer/ school report. Within this your child's school should state how they support children with needs in their school and how the Local Authority supports children, regardless of if the child has a Statement or EHC plan. Hope this was helpful?!
