Annual Review

The review of a statement must take place once a year. It involves a meeting, generally at your child’s school. You, as parents, and your child’s teachers and sometimes other professionals will be asked for views about your child’s progress and these will be discussed at the meeting along with any recommendations such as a change to the statement. The head teacher will then write a report to the local authority which decides whether to make any changes and/or whether the statement is still needed. You will get a copy of the report. If the statement is changed or the local authority decides to end it (cease to maintain) you can appeal if you do not agree
