Recently attended formal mediation with my LA on the grounds they are refusing to conduct a EHC needs assessment. However during the meeting the LA representative advised they could not make a decision and that the new information shared, would need to be presented back to their send panel for reconsideration. Is this allowed? I thought the purpose of mediation was to resolve issues if able to do so? I.e make a decision.

Year 10 options
Hello,
My son is in year 9 at a mainstream secondary school, however is in a special unit there which they say is a school in between a special school and mainstream. My son is autistic and has speech and language delay. We have been told that for year 10 his options will be level 1 maths and English. I have looked at another school in the area that teaches autistic children and they are offered so much more such as lots of vocational programmes along side there maths and English. Do you think I would be best trying to move him to somewhere that could accommodate him to do that? Would I have a fight on my hands to get the local authority to agree to move him? I am just so worried that he is not being offered more options and the school system is failing him again. Has anyone any positive stories of what their child went on to do?
Thank you in advanceRuby Wright
