An unresolved barrier does not mean you have failed to advocate well enough. Clear communication can help, but there is no perfect email that guarantees a school will provide what your child needs.

If another meeting repeats the same promises, ask what has changed since the last one: what was delivered, what remains missing, and who can authorise the next step. Consider bringing in support or using a formal process.

You can be respectful, appreciate staff effort, and still say that the current arrangement is not working. Your child’s access should not depend on your ability to make an uncomfortable problem comfortable.
