Got a confirmed date for our Tribunal

received a letter yesterday morning telling us that our tribunal against our LEA is to be on 26th September.

Great news, that gives us plenty of time to put our case together, just waiting for the LEA,s papers to be sent to us now to see what they have given as their reason for not asessing DS, on the letter that we had for them their reason was "we note his high level of ability" and thats why they wont asess him.

PP are urging me towards mediation but i feel its gone too far for that now, im not interested in mediating with them, they are incompetent and have played a dirty game from day one.

Our Private psych has written a brilliant report on DS, in it he calls the LEA,s actions "intolerable" and that he cant believe they have left DS with no education whatsoever from Nov05 to Apr 06 and now they are only providing him with 4 hours a week.

We have a big meeting on 13th July with all the "professionals", PP are coming, our Private Psych, my aunt who is a headteacher who has just retired and knows the system and the way they operate, so we will have lots of support.
We are being urged to get our MP involved as he has SN grandkids and really helps parents of SN kids but i dont know if this would be too much at this stage.

Sounds like you've also had the three I's - ignorance, indifference and incompetance.

Would not do any harm to get your MP involved in this situation by making him aware of your situation. The more support you can get on your side the better.

Is one of the people from IPSEA coming along to the tribunal?.

It goes without saying that I wish you all the luck in the world for the 26th September.

yes my IPSEA lady is coming as my rep and i have called our private psych as a witness as the LEA will probably use the NHS Psych as their witness.
