We are facing a Tribunal shortly for Section I School Placement as they are placing at local mainstream which is unsuitable and does not meet EHCP needs.
We had a meeting with SEND Services Local Authority to move forward and they, without our knowledge, have consulted with a special school where the birth family live.
In view of the circumstances of our Local Authority adoption this is a significant safeguarding issue but will the tribunal see it like that and how do I go about evidencing that this placement is not suitable due to safeguarding issues?
