What I was trying to ask about is the issue of mainstream schools, where a child starts developing the behavioural problems and has not been properly assessed. Is there not some fast-forward way of dealing with that? It seems an awful burden to put on a parent. Some get the child privately assessed. It is a real block for them to overcome this. Do we not have a fast-forward option? Surely when something like this happens, there must be a quick mechanism to try to deal with it.
