Dear Philippa,
There are a number of permutations!! Sometimes students have already
applied for DSA before they come up - they might ask me just to chase
progress.
For a new application, I get the student to contact the LEA and find out
how they want the application (some have their own form, others want a
letter from me). I then write a letter if necessary - but I don't have a
standard one. I ask the student to keep me posted about progress (or lack
of!) - and chase where necessary.
I don't deal with a huge number of DSAs myself because often help is given
at College level. That means I just get the tricky ones... gloom...
