DS (13) had been off school for 10 consecutive days and 3 more intermittent days soon after, due to chronic insomnia. Although I've been in constant contact with the school and they have been involved in trying to support DS' return, they have asked for medical evidence to authorise his absence in the form of a letter from the GP. They told me it is a requirement for all schools.
However, when I asked the GP, she insisted that GPs are no longer required to provide these and that the school should not be asking for this.
Who's right??
