and my dd with severe excema (nearly 5 y o). The teachers in her school will not put cream on her as it is classed as 'inappropriate touching'.
So I got a phone call at work today saying that she wouldn't stop scratching and her tummy was all bleeding, and every time she stood up or sat down her botttom hurted like mad. She is hating being creamed atm, and runs away screaming when she sees me with a cream pot in my hand at home.
The 'arrangement' for dd is that she goe to the medical room, unsupervised, and creams herself just before lunchtime at school. But really, she is only still little, and something she hates at home...she's hardly going to cream herself at school, is she?
Which left me saying to the teacher on the phone that short of me leaving work for the day and going into the school to cream her myself, there's nothing that can be done for her. And if I had to do that every day I'd have to give up work.
How utterly crap, eh?
If she had any other medical condition I am sure that provision would be made for it...why is it that excema is not tken seriously? Why is it that the chlid protection policy is the very thing that stops my dd from being looked after?
Don't even get me started on suncream, severe excema and child protection policies...
