Hello-
I have just been diagnosed about a month ago.
I am a teacher and have been for 22 years, and I now work in SEND a job which I love.
I have not been to whole school assembly for over 8 years, as it makes me so anxious, and I understand now I have sensory overwhelm, and so instead I stay with the pupils who are in a similar position to myself, as it is a reasonable adjustment for them not to attend.
I have recently been told I HAVE to go to assembly by the Deputy Head. This has caused me so much worry and anxiety that I have not been sleeping well and I am feeling very anxious.
HR will not help me, and I don't know what to do. If I have a diagnosis- can he force me to go?
I have been in contact with me union as well, but I wanted to ask advice too.
Thank you,
Rachel
