Because we're battling on too many fronts at once.
Most people don't know how bad this system is & those that do are exhausted by EHCP, EOTAS, LA under-resourcing & underwhelming SEN/pastoral support in schools.
Academies seem to be flying under the radar too.
It's a mess.

Personal budgets are an option within EOTAS. Often v hard to obtain though. There is quite a variation in how this area is used currently (and it all sits outside the school system) which might be worth investigating for themes.

He is currently receiving tuition at home through an EOTAS package from our local authority because there are insufficient autism suitable schools locally that can meet his particular sensory & social communication needs. So online GCSE access, only 8 hours provision a week.

I need more therapy contact hours for my son, more SEN training for staff in schools, more schools for kids who can’t handle mainstream but don’t have learning disabilities, carer breaks for those of us on the brink, & for the LA to return my emails about an EOTAS package that was agreed months ago

That any formal education setting would be harmful to him and details the need for EOTAS.

We had the same with ours. I took it to tribunal, we are getting eotas, they already conceded that but disagreement over wording & some provision still. I am not asking for anything fancy but omg. It is a hideous process. In the meantime we lost 2 yrs of school & traumatised a child in the process.

I have tribunsl in less than 3 weeks. They have already conceded but its been a year of missed education, and we are still wrangling over wirking document because I refusd to let it be woooly & non specifuc. We are getting Eotas but the trauma of the last 2 years... the harm caused.

Small & its where the system is pushing me. But we are getting EOTAS, again not choice but its what small needs, there is no school to meet his needs. They absolutely need to be looking at why & safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. I do believe families should have choice though. We need to
