Hi All
Page 9 of the new (06/07) Bridging the Gap specifies "Your disability advisor should not carry out your DSA-needs assessment."

Dear All
This question has not gone away. Having talked to an LEA this morning,
they are intending to bring in a policy for 1:1 tuition based on a
gospel truth attititude to the example of 23 hours quoted in Claire
Jamieson's report.
Despite the DfES assurance that recommendations will still be based on
student need, we need to be more pro-active about this now or the
implications for the next academic year are not pleasant.
Is anyone actually doing anything about this with the powers that be??
Also, the LEA refuses to take Disability Officers recommendations and
insists on going back to an Access Centre for even very small changes to
recommendations - apparently DSOs are considered to have an interest if
they are arranging a student's support. This is despite the DfES
guidance to the contrary. Any comments?
Regards
