What happens if the Council decide they will carry out a statutory assessment?
If the council agrees to carry out the statutory assessment, they will send you a letter telling you of the decision, and they will ask for more detailed information about your child from the professionals involved. They will write to you to inform you of the decision and will ask if you would like to send in further views, and will ask if you would like the support of an Independent Parental Supporter (IPS). You may choose someone you know, or the Parent Partnership Service can provide someone to help you.
