  • I would like to know if the LA, rather than the school, should lead when the grounds for asking for an emergency EHCP review involve a safeguarding issue in school.

    My child has a neuro-degenerative disease and has been physically restrained without any consideration of the potential to harm him. The LADO is investigating, but the LA is delegating the EHCP review to the school. Is it the case that the LA should take the lead where safeguarding part of the reason for an EHCP review?

Questions they have answered

  • We are in the final stages of EHCP. We have requested EOTAS (to pay for online school) and a personal budget. The LA have said "County Independent panel have reviewed your request for EOTAS and personal budget to fund Kings Inter High, further information is required before EOTAS can be considered. We will be contacting F...... high school to establish if they are able to support funding Kings Inter High as E. remains on their school roll. We will also be issuing consultations to independent settings to establish suitability; these consultations will be shared with you before they are issued." My question is does the LA pay for EOTAS - why are they asking the school? The LA tried to unroll her from mainstream but we said they could not do this until they have provided alternative provision - and we request EOTAS - were we wrong to do so?

    My daughter is happy at online school. She has tried two mainstream schools and cannot manage. She will not attend school in person and the EP report is fairly conclusive with this regard.
