Hopefully, you will
encounter a positive approach and general courtesy from all members
of staff when you are invited to attend reviews at your child's
school, whether this is for an Individual Education Plan review
or for a Statement review. However, sometimes parents/carers may
feel that their child is being unduly criticised or that the 'best'
is not being done for them in terms of educational
support/provision.

factual and practical at all times during these meetings…
keep notes and take a partner or an informed friend with you

difficulties.
