[senco-forum] EOTAS

Dear Alice
  I think each LA has different rules on this.  I would contact someone at the Local Authority about this.
  Having a proper disabled toilet is essential if pupils with extensive disabilities are to be included in our schools.  And once you have the disabled loo, there is then a fight to make sure that pupils who need assistance to go to the toilet have the right sort of paid support to do this.
  Has the pupil actually been in your school?  Is s/he on your school roll?

  Can anyone advise on the timescales/criteria for implementing home tutoring. I understand from our LEA that it is necessary for the school to demonstrate that they have supported a learner by sending home appropriate learning tasks for a period of 15 days in order to qualify for home tuition. Given that home tuition is the only way back into learning for a young person with medical needs who does not have the benefit of a statement and for whom the school is entirely unsuitable (no disabled toilet facilities to name one)barrier) this whole thing about needing to qualify is a complete farce!
