Livid with teacher

My daughter is autistic and in year 6. Yesterday 10 mins after lunch she said she felt her period and didn't have a pad on. She asked the teacher if she could go to the toilet and was told no she would have to wait until home time. My daughter said she whispered to her that she didn't have a pad on and it was a female reason. The teacher said she didn't need to know that and she should have dealt with it in her lunch break. She had to go back to her seat and bled all over her chair.

  • Hi NAS36492,

    I am outraged. This is abuse.

    I would go straight to the complaints procedure that your school has in place and proceed with a formal complaint. I wouldn’t even bother to chat about it or discuss it first with the teacher or Head (unless the schools complaints procedure requires you to do so.) 

    What is there to discuss? There is zero excuse for this. None.

    And I wouldn’t stop until your daughter has received a formal written apology and acknowledgement of neglect from the school, and the school has changed their policy on allowing children to use the toilet.

    Outraged!
