    Thanks everyone for the hugs and advice it has really helped me tonight. I've also had a rant to my mum who also agrees i've done what i can and it's still happening so it's time to move them.

Who would i contact about SEN? Do i wait until i get a reply from the new school?

    Thanks again everyone. xx
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    On a brighter side I had an interview last week at Dundee Uni for the teaching course that I want and have had an email today offering me an unconditional place - its been 4yrs of hard slog with the OU to get this far so feeling very please with myself.

    Totally well done you. I heard through the grapevine (dad's an ex teacher with friends at the Uni) Dundee Uni were being really picky about education courses this year, so you should be patting yourself on the back BIG TIME!!!! :T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    In Scotland it would be the Education Social Work department. Does she have a statement of needs?
