I did tag this onto the end of my old thread as an update, but thought its likely to get lost as it's a long thread & after all we've been through I no longer trust our LA to play fair with a second appeal at all...
We raised a LGO complaint when we lost our medical needs appeal for our nearest/easiest to get to - this has been upheld on several grounds, not least that there was malpractice at our appeal in several areas & that they didn't properly accept DDs clear medical need for the closest possible school, they have refused to just give her the place, but have agreed a second appeal hearing.
Obviously with only a few weeks to go, this is bloody nerve wracking & our LA have dragged their heels & have been deliberately late with every response to the LGO - completely ignored their request that DD us allocated a place for example. - so I am hoping to be prepared & know what the rules of a second appeal are.
Has anyone been through this ?? - how does it work ??
I'm hoping they have to give some notice, so that we have time to arrange the legal help promised by a local disabilities charity - I'm also hoping it won't be too late though, as DD will miss starting with the other DCS
Is is just the hearing that's repeated - or is evidence resubmitted - there were problems with my original evidence in that it was poorly printed off, making it confusing & also extra stuff submitted that I had not submitted as evidence. I can now also get extra supporting evidence as DD now has an extra medic in her care team who will back us.
Any advice/info gratefully received
