Should SENCO's be better educated?

My autistic son is 8 and has a commode for night time use and we visit the eneurisis clinic.  The school decided to have an overnight residential activity stay.  When I explained his problems, I was told by the SENCO that having a wet bed for one night was surely not a problem!  By setting up a new pattern of behaviour this would have caused us, as a family, more problems and surely this suggestion was a little unprofessional?  Are SENCOs not trained in these conditions?

  • Continuing the subject of our school SENCO - my son came home and started crying.  He said that the other children had surrounded him and started chanting looser.  On telling the school SENCO she replied "Well children will always notice difference in others".  My mother always said that children follow by example.  This headteacher obviously hasn't heard this saying, and continues to amaze me!
