We have only just recently started the pathfinder process, so all a bit last minute for us. Had one positive meeting so far, and I think the new paperwork is good, but there are deinite glaring omissions which need to be sorted - such as timescales. I'll update our progress on here in the next couple of Stephs Two Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592292485187553690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740038906100434605.post-32095568554475910372013-03-15T14:35:30.911+00:002013-03-15T14:35:30.911+00:00Hi, I'm a uni student and am doing some resear...Hi, I'm a uni student and am doing some research on the Children and Families Bill 2013. came across your blog on google and just wanted to ask how your experience with your Pathfinder council has been? <br /><br />I just finished reading the SEND Pathfinder Programme Report (March 2013) and it seemed to be reporting practically completely positive outcomes, but didn't seem to engage withclairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04131008592411391243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740038906100434605.post-35478941451557159352013-03-03T10:14:28.055+00:002013-03-03T10:14:28.055+00:00It's true that it is a lottery and down to wha...It's true that it is a lottery and down to what the individual school is prepared to offer.

Like, let's ignore the problem and maybe it'll go away? Er, no.<br />Early support was an initiative for 0-5s originally but it has now been extended to 25 also, so anyone with a diagnosis should now be able to go and ask Stephs Two Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592292485187553690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740038906100434605.post-62675896369862568382013-03-02T16:19:11.740+00:002013-03-02T16:19:11.740+00:00Exactly right.

Its interesting but our town does do Early Support but I have no idea what it actually entails. Is it for young children as the name suggests? Would explain why we're not benefiting from it and why we're feeling very unsupported at the Welcome!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07758516334730930643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740038906100434605.post-13659698859795402852013-03-01T20:55:26.764+00:002013-03-01T20:55:26.764+00:00So the aim is good but the policies and practice m...So the aim is good but the policies and practice may not match up?

So if you're not used to looking at bills you should definitely only look at them in conjunction with the explanatory notes!<brCllr Matt Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02198518924205475689noreply@blogger.com
