Summer's lovely, but let’s be honest it can also be a lot. Our CYP's SEND can be impacted profoundly as routines go out the window, everything’s louder, hotter, busier… and if you’ve got children with sensory processing or emotional regulation difficulties, it’s like turning up the volume on chaos.
EOTAS is an alternative education arrangement for children who cannot attend a school setting due to their special educational needs (SEN). It is not the same as home schooling and it is not AP (alternative provision provided via a Section 19 submission). EOTAS is funded and arranged by the local authority (LA) through your EHCP.
The expectation within Law is built on the fact that the framework works from a schools point of view, to support the child. However, the onus is always on the families to PROVE SEN, due to the cash strapped schools not wanting to admit 'SEND' due to the funding they will then have to find!
