Hi again, another difficult day. My daughter had a great day at school but she had a Sport lesson which is offsite. She does walking in the forest. She only had 1 staff member with her this time, but there was another pupil who had 2 staff with them and there were all in the forest together just doing their own things. My daughter's staff went to the toilet and she waited outside with one of the other students staff. Unfortunately, my daughter started to wonder off, so the staff had to follow her but then her proper staff member caught up. Apparently she was walking through the woods and then walked into the road to cross without looking, then walked through the woods on the other side. But then, she started to walk in the middle of the road, which was very unsafe because it was raining a lot. She didn't have a cot on either so she was cold and wet. Her staff followed next to her trying to keep her safe but she could't hold her or touch her because it was too unsafe. Obviously, she let the school know about the situation and they had to call the police because she was being very unsafe. In the meantime, because nothing had changed or calmed down, the school took a car up to meet them to help. They were around 30/40 minutes away from school.
Her staff kept doing the things that would calm my daughter down and tried to help but nothing worked. She asked if she wanted to chat. Tried the guessing game about what's wrong. Then she tried distracting her, telling her some funny things but she was absolutely silent and didn't want to chat. I don't know what will happen next and what the school should do to put in place. Maybe an extra staff member. I'm just lost again. I don't know what they can do to help. I don't know why she keeps putting herself into these situations. Why does she keep walking in the road? It's scaring me.
