Our request for a change of placement was again declined on the basis that Victoria is “happy” and “making progress”. Neither of these points are evidenced, neither are valid reasons for declining a change of placement under The Childrens and Families Act 2014 39(4) and the Local Authority should not have made this decision before draft amendments to the EHCP were issued; if they don’t yet know what changes will be made how do they know whether the current school can meet need?
