We moved into the county with an existing EHCP but the LA took weeks/ months to respond to the transfer. Then repeatedly lied about sending off consultation documents and applying for support until a suitable placements could be found. It was months of no school and no support at all. To then be put in a school that is nearly an hour away that is unable to meet needs.
