We had no choice but to find a solicitor however difficult this was and I thank Emma and her team for guiding us through the mess of a fourth unlawful review the most serious one as we felt my sons college placement was at serious threat due to our local authority actions when sending us a draft EHCP after a review it was shocking not what we had expected..
We knew through research what had happened to my sons EHCP was not lawful process by our la in so many areas which Emma and her team confirmed. We had tried mediation which failed, after a year of battling on our own, complaints to the la ignored , it was such a relief to finally speak to a professional who could get the best outcome for my son to continue in his choice of specialist college.
Emma and her team guided us through every step of the way and stuck on a rigid pathway to ensure my sons EHCP could really be about him, put him at the centre of his plan, update to reflect his current needs and support in a specialist college not a secondary school which he had not been in for 11 months and be smart based.
Emma was outstanding, honest, transparent, worked tireless for us and straight to the point which was so hard for us to deal with as we really wanted to take those responsible for the mess in the la punished but we couldn’t and had to be realistic for my sons sake .
EMMA WAS OUTSTANDING went above and beyond what we expected and we are so grateful that we have a current EHCP that is all about my son .
Thank you as he can now focus on his future as we have s good foundation to build on.
We highly recommend Watkins Solicitors we knew about through their excellent informative EHCP workshops explaining in detail what an EHCP is which is s lifeline as we know LA will cut corners or not tell the whole picture.
