Ok and good luckNot that I know of but never really heard much about work experience since I done it and that was in about 1987. I'll have to talk to the senco at school when it gets nearer the time.

I think he would need an education health care plan which he hasn't got. I tried to get him one in primary school but then covid hit and he didn't end up getting it. His secondary school won't apply for one as he is in all the top sets in his lessons (he has high functioning autism) and he is really quiet and causes no bother. They said he wouldn't qualify which is ridiculous as he has a load of other problems, social, emotional and his communication is terrible. He has no idea how to hold a conversation, can't talk on a phone etc. My daughter who is severely disabled has had taxi's provided for her all the way through school/college but don't think my son would qualify.
How did you get it done privately? I wouldn't have a clue where to start.If you can afford it then get an assessment done privately, I think we paid 300 quid about 5 years back.
This helped massively in getting her into a school that would deal with her educational needs.
Some of the kids get taxis to and from school all paid for once they are assessed etc.
Good luck
As a bairn ?
That's where I done mine, must have been about 1978. Really enjoyed it doing PDI's most of the week and other bits and pieces. Around the time of the Cortina mk 4!I did mine at Cowies on Trimdon Street, which in turn led to an apprenticeship there as a mechanic.
I wasn’t born until 79 so you were way ahead of me. Bet some of the lads were still the same.That's where I done mine, must have been about 1978. Really enjoyed it doing PDI's most of the week and other bits and pieces. Around the time of the Cortina mk 4!

Only one I can remember for obvious reasons was a canny lad called Peter Lee, I worked with him all week and he was a good laugh.I wasn’t born until 79 so you were way ahead of me. Bet some of the lads were still the same.
There would maybe have been Shorty / Derek Short and Joe Rowlands.Only

If I remember correctly, Bobby Kerr worked in sales there round about the same time after his playing career!
I did mine at a stationery factory. I didn't get the job because I failed the pencil identification test. It was not 2B.I did my work experience at the Theatre Royal, because I had ambitions to be an actor.
I auditioned for the role of Hamlet, but it was not to be.
Ist that what the old YTS was forI still think some were on the take. Paid a bung to get free child labour
Nah them names not ringing any bells like.....I do remember many Escorts, Cortinas, Capris and the odd Granada thoughThere would maybe have been Shorty / Derek Short and Joe Rowlands.
Appreciate it was one week 43 years ago.![]()

Pleased your daughter is sorted in a school suited for her needs. My son is fine at school, it's what happens when he leaves that I am worried about.
Whilst most of the Connexions (Careers) service has gone, there are still some staff. You could you use the email given on the link below to express your concerns and ask for access to things like independent travel training. South Tyneside College used to have provision for young people with autism and I don't think you needed an ehcp. Good luck
