Dear Lena,
We have had success by using the Student Support reg (10 (4) d) which
states that LEA should fund a new course where a student had to leave
a course for 'compelling personal reasons'. This has worked for
student s who eg left with various conditions including depression.
It's on p.12 of the support regs. LEA's are not always aware of this.
The LEA will need evidence to support that the reasons were
compelling.
Best wishes
Elaine Robinson
