If you have any Philip of Nunhead memories or photos please share them here. A Plaque of Dedication hopefully will soon be fixed to what will always be known as Philip's Bench. In Loving Memory of Nunhead Green Legend Philip. You always had a good generous heart. You always made us smile and laugh. Taken from us too soon. May you finally be at Peace with an everlasting supply of Jamaica Rum. My shared memory: Philip from Jamaica was a lovely guy but had a troubled life, never see him eat, had not seen some of his grown up kids for years. Way back Philip worked for the BBC. The bench seen here was always his spot. Many looked out for him, last year was in and out of hospital many times, and his health declined. I always made time to sit and chat with this lovely guy when I passed by, quite often he would give me some cigars, remember once he had a box of Cubans and still shared some with me. Never a shrinking violet or afraid of speaking his mind, I witnessed some 'lively' exchanges. Philip was a big fan of 'Elvis From Nunhead' and recall him dancing as only Philip could dance to the King. Had seen Philip on the Green for years, however I only really got to know this guy after the start of my slow journey to recovery which started in June 2020. I prayed with Philip around Christmas 2020 he was very low feeling dejected and shared dark thoughts 'Philip you are my friend we don't want you to leave this earth any time soon.' An intensely private guy, and would never have visitors which included the Salvation Army who would ply Philip with hot drinks and food, which more often was left un-touched or given away. At his passing Philip was all alone at home.

Cleo shared from Nextdoor - Personally I hope you can avoid the need to make such a financial outlay - however the final choice of course is yours. As 'Nina' commented: 'It seems bonkers for you to go and pay for assessments privately one by one.' Nadia Harley psychiatrists 0203 871 8263. Ask for Dr Rathore. Child may still get treatment from them even if no autism diagnosis. My daughter has similar issues. Price is ?345 for parent assessment and ?745 for child assessment. Your child may be Aspergers or have social anxiety around other children. We also use an amazing specialist Sen tutor since my daughter was about 5 years old and she has helped my daughter stay in and excel in mainstream education. However with lockdown she can only do online lessons and for a child of 6 years old that is very young for online learning. I can pass on her details for when lockdown is over as may be useful then. Jaymie ? Lewisham Town Centre Drumbeat in lewisham may be able to guide you? They are a specialist school for Autism and they help do assessments for schools.

'It seems bonkers for you to go and pay for assessments privately one by one.' Agree with you 100%

Dear Sue Mindful of your concerns I have now made a full edit to only include first name and removed the location.

Steph Perhaps get a GP referral to CAMHS regarding anxiety. My son is on the spectrum, but the anxiety was by far the worst part of going to school for him. It's not easy having to be in big crowded school when suffering with anxiety and it can make a child act out in a way that they don't do at home. Anxiety comes in all shapes and forms and the SENCO should push for an urgent referral again. There's always a valid reason why I child is doing something out of character and in order for him to have some support at school, it needs to be inclusive and give help rather than always seemingly punishing by send to the head. I do hope the school sort it out for him so that he gets the education he's entitled to. I must say having been through it 3 times with schools, it is a case of being ready to fight the education authorities at every step of the way. Otherwise he will get left behind. Good luck ☘ Kellie Hi you can try this link this person is expert in giving advice and resources regarding the matter that you shared please dm her her name is Natasha https://instagram.com/j_and_i2020?igshid=wyxrmuvpiot1 Rebecca www.weteachacademy.co.uk.

Raychel Hi Michael I have a son who is on the autistic spectrum he was diagnosed privately as well as through Southwark I would suggest your best bet is to start at Sunshine house with Dr Sharma the social communications team. I would also check the National autistic Society (NAS) website also children on the autistic spectrum can have traits of dyslexia dyspraxia or ADHD please feel free to contact me should you need any other advice I was also school governor for eight years in primary school. Raychel Demetra I'm wondering if The Dr Sharma you know is the same doctor that use to look after my son when he was a child but that would make him at least in his early 60s now Folasade Dr.Sharma is still in sunshine house Raychel yes I know; He was so helpful to me and my son with the school

Margaret Micheal contact sunshine house on Peckham Road and ask if they can help i referred a child there and they were very helpful in getting him assessed properly I hope this helps Demetra My son is now an Adult I never had to pay privately to get him accessed he was assessed at the age of 3 your GP can help to get a referral to the disability team based at Maudsley Hospital on Denmark hill and also the social services disability team on Queens road They will set up help and maybe get him help with a one to one helper within the school or even home tuition while he is being assessed Oh I just realised he only got the home tuition after his diagnosis I do apologise. He got home tuition while he was waiting for a place in a special school many schools now integrate with special needs. The new built School called Cherry Gardens on Bellendon road Peckham behind Lidls maybe able to point you in the right direction on what to do

Lin My son is now an adult but as a child I spent a term of awful nursery collection and then a year of a child who learnt nothing at all and was getting excluded regularly. I joined Education Otherwise and took him out of school for 2 years. He rejoined being a year in advance. Worth checking them out. Best of luck. www.educationotherwise.org

Nicola Dyslexia, maybe get him checked for Dyslexia as this can make children disruptive if they are uncomfortable . Yael Dr Stefan Studnik - London Children's Practice" http://www.londonchildrenspractice.co.uk/team/dr-stefan-studnik/ He is amazing! He is also a very highly respected NHS assessor so his assessment will be taken seriously by schools and GPs. He is however, really expensive. As in, a 2-3 thousands of pounds. Having said that, if your son is diagnosed with ASD it will make a big difference, and will help the school know how to help him. It's a good thing :) The London Children's Practice
