A Leicestershire family have been left devastated after thinking a two year school placement battle for their autistic child had finally come to an end, only to be left with a transport dilemma.
Emma Carvell, 37, has been fighting Leicestershire County Council to help find a specialist primary school for her son Lewis Massey, 5, who has autism and social, emotional and mental health (SEMH).
The process began back in June 2021 when Ms Carvell managed to get Leicestershire County Council to put a new school on Lewis' EHCP - a legally binding document which sets out a child’s needs and how the council will support them - which they feel can meet his needs.
