Statutory Assessment and Statement
 
What is a Statement?   Back to First Page   When will I get my childs final statement?

What happens when a statement has been prepared for my child?

Sharing Information
 

Before you receive the final statement, the LA will send you a proposed statement. This will include copies of the reports that were collected during statutory assessment. At this stage you will be able to comment on the contents of the statement. These comments must be supported by the information in the attached reports.

 
It will not name a school in Part 4. Normally your child will continue to be educated in their local school. However, you have a right to express a preference for a particular school, and the LA must name your preferred school providing that:
 
Bullet Point
The school is suitable for your child's age, ability and aptitude and the special educational needs identified in Part 2 of the statement
Bullet Point
Your child's attendance is compatible with the education of other pupils in the school
Bullet Point
The placement is an efficient use of the LA's resources
 

If you have any questions or concerns about the proposed statement, you can discuss these with your LA caseworker or Norfolk Parent Partnership.

You will be asked to name your choice of school and approve the proposed statement within 15 days. Additional time can be requested if needed.
