Mr. Craig Petrie:

This also speaks to the issue around the differences we see from region to region. We still have case conferences around individual children, but not nearly as often as we would like. They are the most effective way of getting support for a child; everyone is around the table, a plan gets thrashed out and we can implement the plan at all of the different stages with all of the different agencies. It does not happen as often as we would like and I am acutely conscious that when therapists from our local services are in with us for that hour, that means another student in our school is an hour further down the waiting list, about which we have been talking, in terms of actually being seen. We are in a catch-22 situation. We want the best for all of them, but we are robbing Peter to pay Paul a lot of the time.
