LeMaquis Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 It also costs the parents money they cant afford with the extra trips to and from school, the exta they have to spend on educational toys and entertainment and as host of other things that on their own arent an issue but added together make for a difficult time for the whole family. The child might be able to get DLA and dependent on this and other circumstances one of the parents might be able to get Carers Allowance. Ask the parents if they're already getting DLA/CA for him and if not to apply. Normal hostilities will be resumed shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 His parents feel he could certainly become employable at some point but the thing with the maistream school is he isnt allowed to mix with the other 'normal' kids. Hes just segregated the whole times hes there. Presumably that's done for a reason though, not on a whim. Is he disruptive, or does he need 1 to 1 attention?

MrMoran Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Presumably that's done for a reason though, not on a whim. Is he disruptive, or does he need 1 to 1 attention? The reason is they dont have the staff to give him the 1 to 1 he needs so he generaly has to sit in another room with a small group of other kids but he is never allowed to associate with the rest of the school at break times or any other time. He can be disruptive, not agresive or anything he just gets very frustraited if he dosent understand what the teacher is talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hennypenny Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The law (paraphrased) says that all children should be provided with an education suitable to their age, aptitude, ability and any special needs they may have. It would seem to me that this child was not being provided with a suitable education. Are his parents linked into the local home education group? They might find it is more fulfilling to take him out of school altogether and educate him themselves. Many children come into home education because their special needs are not being met at school, usually the parents find that the children do much better at home. In Sheffield there is a large home ed group with many activities on a daily basis which they could join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The right to an education. Does anyone here know about this part of the human rights act? If so id love some advice. Thanks It depends what you call an education Let's get this bit out of the way first. The UKHRA does indeed guarantee the 'right to an education'- Successive governments had declared that the minimum qualifications necessary to afford an individual the opportunity to obtain a reasonable job are 5 GCSEs at grade C or above, including English Language and Mathematics. The state school system does provide the opportunities for all students to do that at no charge. There's nothing in the law which requires the state to provide additional assistance to ensure that those with special educational needs WILL achieve those 5 GCSEs - and indeed, it would be ridiculous to make such a provision. The law (paraphrased) says that all children should be provided with an education suitable to their age, aptitude, ability and any special needs they may have. It would seem to me that this child was not being provided with a suitable education. But what, exactly, does that mean? How do you assess educational needs and how often do you re-assess them? I grew up on an Island (not in the UK) which had an 11+ system. I passed my 11+. Went to a boarding school on another Island and was moderately successful. My younger brother passed his 11+, went to another Island (to a different school) and it turned out to be a disaster. The next brother passed his 11+, went to the same school as the first brother, but was re-patriated a year later because he was unable to adapt. That brother subsequently went back to do his 'A' levels, did rather well, went to University and lived there. BSc, MSc, PHd, Lecturer, Professor (highly respected in his field, with a number of publications to his name,) head of a flagship university in another country. We were each provided with identical opportuities. Some did better than others. You can legislate to provide identical opportunities, but you cannot legislate to provide identical outcomes.
