Hi there ,
Writing on here as I’m hoping someone might be able to give me some insight or some advice on the next steps I can take regarding issues with my sons school
basically my son has a diagnosis of autism he gets funding and has one to one support due to his specialist needs recently lots of issues have been happening at school the two that are the worst are they took my son on a school trip didn’t inform me and let him walk with another child hand in hand (without his one to one support lady) my son has no common sense or safety /danger awareness he is extremely sensitive to sound and if he hears a siren a dog a crying baby it will send him into complete meltdown and he will try and run and hide and get away from the noise two weeks ago he even managed to pull me and him into the road on a family day out because of a siren luckily I know my son and know this was a possibility so I was able to act quickly and everything was fine I have told the school this yet they don’t care his class teacher is awful and all she said was why did I need to know about the trip and they can do whatever they want with him she implied I should get a job as I have to much time on my hands whilst the senco said I wrap him up in cotton wool they also said how he will do the same as the rest no special treatment and that he needs to be independent ! The second is that my son came home with bruised legs on each leg that resembled finger prints I asked my son how he got the bruises and his words were they hold my legs when I get sad when I asked who he got really upset so I left it for a hour or so asked him again and he said his new one to one so I immediately went into the school told them there not to restrain him and that I expect for them to use techniques we use at home and are more of a calmer nature and that I don’t agree with restraining ever since the school are nasty as anything with me now because they said I’ve accused one of there staff when I go into meetings they won’t listen to me the last meeting they ganged up on me it’s pretty much will do what we want with him There saying there going to take his support away outside at lunches and in the class room and how on school trips hel be like the rest of them they even said when he goes on his swimming trip hel have to be like the rest my son is extremely obsessed with Water there’s no way they could let him swim with zero support I’m now at my wits end I have no idea what or how to try and fight for my sons rights im not expecting extra special treatment and of course I want him to be more independent but the most important thing is his safety im finding myself worrying about him every day and the more I try and get them to listen the nastier there getting and now there even trying to turn it around on me saying perhaps I need some parent support or help all I want is for the correct care in school for my son
thanks
