My daughter has been home schooled since last October,I've manged to get her an appointment with a mental health worker.Do you think they can help me to get her into a smaller pupil size school with children that also suffer with what she suffers?

    It's good that you've been able to get this appointment for your daughter @Popdiva43, how are you feeling about it?

    While the mental health worker can't place her directly into a new school, they can help by providing evidence such as reports as to why a smaller school with children who have similar needs is the best option for her.

    Are you in England or Wales? For a child to go to a specialist school, they usually need an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) in England or an Individual Development Plans (IDP) in Wales.

    Hopefully yes because they can usually provide evidence such as reports and observations that are useful when applying for an EHCP😊

    Are you thinking about starting the EHCP process?
