Rejected petition Umbrella Pathway Waiting Times
The system has not only let my child down massively but others to. We have to wait 3 years for children to see someone on the umbrella pathway. I chase every single day. Same answer. No doctors, high capacity. Children are suffering in mainstream school when they should be in a specialist school!
More details
To give our children the opportunity to shine in their own way and own time. The system is hugely letting children down due to waiting times. 3 years to wait to see a consultant is not acceptable. These children need the support now . Not in 3 years time. For an EHCP it's 12 weeks! Another 12 weeks on top of the 3 years they are waiting. It's time to change and the change is now!
