No More Trauma

barriers to attendance ehcp membership parent request

My youngest doesn't have an EHCP. Once upon a time, long before I had this job I applied for one, and it was refused and I just didn't have the available space in my brain to manage with an appeal. She was struggling in a mainstream, and I felt beside myself.

But then, school put in lots of support and things started to improve drastically. And I thought that after all, maybe just maybe the Local Authority had been correct in our case.

It might have taken a year but my daughter was attending happily each day and thriving.

But September came around, everything changed, covid regulations in schools changed, teachers changed, timetables changed, rooms smell different, look different, staff are louder or quieter than last year...and more challenges are to come. And the wheels have fallen off. She hates school. She doesn't want to go. She's having huge meltdowns in school regularly.

And so, this year, I'm not waiting the whole year for things to settle. This year I'm hitting the ground running. I'm doing a parent request. I'm ready for the inevitable appeals. It maybe my job now, but don't think for one minute I won't be making the most of all the tools in the membership. I didn't have them before. But I do now.

Lets do this. Lets get our children what they need to thrive, not just to survive.

My child will not have her spirit broken by a system not designed for her. Not anymore.
