Childs 1:1 teacher being let go HELP

JJHope

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could help with this situation.

My daughter is autistic and was delayed by a year from starting school as she struggled with the setting.

She has been in school since september and has become very close with her 1:1 teaching assistant who is amazing and has taught her so much and made school a great experience.

This week the school have advised they are letting the teaching assistant go due to budget issues, i am extremely concerned as this is my daughters main contact in school and the only person she is with 100% off the time in school and really understands my daughter

My daughters EHCP plan staes she should have a full time 1:1 and is not clear yet who will be teaching my daughter. I don't understand where i am legally as surely they will have to employ someone else to be a 1:1 teachers which i would imagine is roughly the same amount so would be the same in terms of budget.

I don't know where i stand but i'm just praying they change there minds.

  • Sorry, I don’t have advice because I’m from the States, but I just wanted to say I hope this turns out well for you and your daughter. My daughter’s schooling experience has also been significantly improved with access to teaching assistants, so I can totally understand how much of a hardship this could be.

    If you were in the States I’d say make a huge stink about it to the principal and/or school board, but I don’t know if that is the best way to go about things in the UK.
