If you're told the LA isn't "doing" EHCPs/EOTAS any more, show this: Until any changes are implemented, the current statutory framework remains in place. Local authorities will therefore continue to be able to arrange education otherwise than at a school or further education college under section 61 of the Children and Families Act 2014 where they are satisfied that it would be inappropriate for the special educational provision specified in an EHCP to be made in a school or college. https://consult.education.gov.uk/accountability-and-special-schools/send-reform-education-other-than-at-school/supporting_documents/send-reform-education-otherwise-than-at-schoolpdf-1

Has anxiety stopped your family going places?

Have you stopped planning days out because the journey feels harder than the destination?

You’re not alone.

Thanks to funding from East Midlands Railway (EMR) we’re offering free support for children experiencing travel anxiety.

This isn’t only for children who are worried about trains.

It may also help children who:
🚆 are anxious travelling anywhere
🏠 struggle to leave home
🚗 worry about car journeys
🤢 have developed anxiety following travel sickness
🌍 find unfamiliar places overwhelming

Every child begins with a free assessment call, helping us understand whether these sessions are the right fit.

Assessment calls are available on Thursdays.

If you’ve been avoiding trips because anxiety has become the loudest voice, we’d love to hear from you 🌈💚♥️

For some parent carers, the thought of no more school stress is honestly a huge relief. No battles to get out the door, no school anxiety, no phone calls home. Just a chance to breathe. ❤️

For others… six weeks without the routine of school can feel like climbing Everest in flip-flops. 😬 Keeping everyone entertained, regulated and happy while running on empty is no small task.

And let’s be honest… some of us manage to feel both of those things at exactly the same time! 😂

So, just in case this helps someone…

HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) is a government-funded programme that provides free holiday clubs and activities, with a meal included, during the school holidays. There are lots of different providers offering everything from sports and arts and crafts to cooking, outdoor adventures and much more.

If your child can access HAF, contact your school and ask for their HAF unique reference number. If they aren’t already on the list, ask the school what you need to do.

Trying somewhere new can feel overwhelming for some of our children, but it could also become something they really enjoy and give them another opportunity to socialise in a supportive environment.

Just thought we would share in case it helps someone. 💙
