Lying ?

LeanneC91

Hi there my son is 6 and diagnosed with ASD - he attends our local autism unit and gets a taxi there every weekday - the issue seems to be with the escort his behaviour is always worse when he is with her and yesterday he told me that she hit him - she came to me straight away and denied it (he is known to exaggerate) but this time is feels different to me. He hasn't done the usual and changed his story he is adamant about it so I told him I believed him and thanked him for telling me but I'm scared to take it further incase she hasn't done it - I've spoken to head teacher and will hear more on Monday just looking for opinions or if anyone has been in similar situation (apologies for terrible spelling and grammar I'm using my sons tablet lol)

    I'm no longer in the UK, do I don't know how much things have moved forward but this is an issue that needs to be sorted out.

    Safeguarding is about keep both your son and his escort safe. If she's finding him challenging she needs more support and supervision. That support and supervision would also help you to know your son was safe in her care.

    Most of my safeguarding experience was around older adults with mental health or dementia issues, but we always took the position that a vulnerable person needs to be heard.
