Does anyone have advice or information?

After yet another exclusion and an I.B.P. which has never been followed (made up for my benefit I think) we have a meeting on Monday to discuss where we go regarding his place in school. We have never had any outside help within school (eg Psychologist or Bahviour Support)and their attitude appears to be out of sight out of mind so he spends a lot of time wandering corridors as they throw him out of lessons. I asked about Statutory Assesment and they say that at almost 15 its too late! I've tried finding out if there is a system before he gets thrown out but there appears to be no-one who knows.

Any help or advice would be very appreciated.

Re: Does anyone have advice or information?

You need to take advice urgently from IPSEA. You should apply for an assessment to the LEA now. They have to conclude it within set period and it can run to 19 if child stays in school. Ipsea are your first port of call. Good luck
