    Hi @mborsah and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    Sorry to hear you're having challenges with your sons school. Did the panel say why they refused a residential placement?

    It may also be worth contacting your local SENDIASS as these are the education experts who can give you free and impartial information and advice on everything to do with education such as EHCPs, reviews, call and attend meetings with the school and sometimes allocate you a specific caseworker😊

    I was in a similar position 30 odd years ago, I left school in April 1992, a bit less than a year later I was sent to a Residential College in Grimsby, with mixed results, I hated living in the "Main Hall", too many people from the South who regularly mocked my strong Yorkshire accent (Back then I was just turned 17 and my accent wasn't as broad as it is 33 years later)

    I also wasn't diagnosed as Neurodiverse till about 6 and half years later, if I had been they probably wouldn't have sent me there.

    But as is the wont of our annoyingly useless local Council, they didn't have the resources to "deal" with someone like me at the time.
