Yr 9 transition/annual review venting

[Guest guest]

Just back from J's annual review meeting( he is home ed, we get no help, but the

lea have to tick their...) Lea's admin manager(! not even an education

person...) ,and of course this lady from Connexions telling us about all these

wonderful packages available post 16 at the local mainstream colleges and work

placements!!!( thats great that there are opportunities for the more able sen

children ... are these successful? and has anyone here got something in place

for someone at the severe end of the spectrum ????

The few local children that i know are all at or going to go to residential

placements.

This post 16 package would only be available if the child is at a post 16 Lea

placement.Is that true does home ed legally stop at 16 ,not 19?

I had gone in feeling quite positive, J is learning ,( plus after 12 years had

finally realised that they don't give a toss and didn't expect a thing) ,but now

feeling sick and frightened about the future (guess this is always under the

surface...)
