[senco-forum] Advice Please- use of EP service

> are you funny or nasty, can't decide?

Dear Brian,

I have counted very slowly to ten and still I cannot let this go. Are our
parents and our children somehow lesser mortals than those in maintained
schools?  Do maintained schools not have to buy EPS services from their
devolved funding? Is it not unqualified good news for the autistic, dyslexic
and SLI children in my school, that we can now access the same level of
advice that their peers in maintained schools can access?

Or will you tell us to eat cake?

Mary

Ah, I haven't lost it then.

As for this thread....

I have no idea of the details of the Service Level Agreement and therefore
didn't want to comment too hysterically. However, I am shocked that, on the
surface, a LA EPS is selling itself to the independent sector and therefore
depriving the children and families of its service. 

Every child, every parent, every SENCO in a maintained school or employee of
an LA should be heading to the barricades right about now, I'd have thought.
Sorry, you can't have your EP today, she is busy earning cash at an
independent school.  

Cheers
