Pupil Referral unit

Donegal Diva

Guys,

My son is being given a place at a Pupil referral unit and I've got no choice but to take it.  I do however need to visit it this week and wondered if there were any questions I should ask about the unit.  Any watch outs and anything I should ensure is in place before he starts.

 

Thanks in advance.

  • hi - on the assumption that your son is on the autistic spectrum, why is he being sent to a pru and why have you no choice in the matter......?  Haven't much knowledge at prus except that they're for pupils who have been excluded from mainstream school.  I wouldn't have thought it was the best place for someone with asd, to put it mildly.   I would be asking how knowledgeable/qualified all the staff are about autism, what are their plans for him whilst he is there to make his time enjoyable and worthwhile.  Policies around discipline, behaviour etc. But really, I don't understand why he's being sent there.  How do you feel about it?  Sounds really inappropriate to me.  bw
