Hello @wigburt and welcome to our community. I'm sorry that it's under these stressful circumstances but I'm sure we can help.
As I understand section I relates to the school or other setting to be attended and IPSEA - as suggested by @chiarieds - recommend the following:What if I just want to appeal Section I?To speak more in-depth about your particular circumstances, I'd encourage you to book a free advice line appointment with IPSEA in which you'll have 30 minutes to run through your worries and get their specialised input.
It is worth remembering that an EHC plan should follow a process: first, all the child or young person’s SEN should be identified in Section B. Then, provision to meet each of those needs must be identified in Section F. The school or other institution named in Section I will be an institution which is able to meet the needs and provision as set out in Sections B and F.
Therefore if you want to appeal Section I of an EHC plan we would always recommend that you consider whether Sections B and F give enough accurate detail about the needs and provision required to support your arguments for the school or other institution you want in Section I.
While you could also contact the following organisations who have Special Educational Needs and Disability expertise:
In relation to the stress and anxiety you're feeling, I'm so sorry that it's having that impact. As you care so much and want the best for your son, these barriers to education are understandably going to give you a knockDo you feel well supported in terms of your mental health? And also, do you think speaking about it with your GP might help? These might be things to consider going forwards.
Please let us know how you get on and we wish you all the best. Oh, just to add(!) I've moved your post to our Education and learning category and slightly tweaked the title to help others better understand what your thread's about
