A 17-year-old boy who cannot start special school without further psychological assessment is being denied his right to education, his mother has said.
Caroline Campbell’s son Oscar has complex needs and has a special educational needs (SEN) statement.
She said he had previously attended a mainstream school’s autism unit but that had become too stressful for him.
Oscar, from Londonderry, now has a place at a special school, but his mum said she has been told by the Education Authority (EA) he cannot attend until he has been further assessed.
