long grass & avoid support. This is a beautiful girl where early intervention is the key. The decision to not assess is one which is illegal. I have to chase & chase & the council have audacity to not respond Am I surprised? Of course I am not. KentOnline

I’m absolutely abhorred to use X for this but sadly unless I’m very public I won’t get a response ZJ has been denied a EHCP assessment despite operating at the age of a 9 month old when she is 22 months Mediation applied, ignored so far by @Kent_cc in order to kick to

@Kent_Online The way parents/carers of children with additional needs have to fight the systems has to change. I remember doing @GMB with @CarrieGrant1 and @DavidGrantSays and hearing them describe things they’d heard people had to do to be heard. Things have to improve

@Kent_Online @GMB @CarrieGrant1 @DavidGrantSays They are utterly fab - it’s ridiculous. I’ve emailed, I’ve called, formally requested mediation, ignored. I have a platform. Others don’t.

@Kent_Online Omg look at her!! Utterly gorgeous!!

@Kent_Online I know she is such a sweety! And the pride on her face when she realises what she is doing. This is what early intervention looks like thanks to third sector charity!

@Kent_Online I'm so sorry to hear this. When we hit a brick wall with EHCP provision, we let them know we were about to contact our MP. The next day funding was agreed. Curious, that.

@Kent_Online Sarah I’m so sorry. I’m sorry you have to fight so hard. I’m sorry you’ll have to keep going. The system is so broken.

@Kent_Online Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. I’ll keep pressing on.

@Kent_Online Kent are the absolute worst. Without support from groups like @21_together1 and @gfreeman2012 we would still be stuck. We found going straight to appeal with no mediation meant they agreed to assess without going for a hearing. It is such a long battle! Good luck stay strong

@Kent_Online @Kent_cc you're seriously letting this child down. Please do what you can to put it right.
