DD is 15 and has horrific period pain. For two years we’ve been to drs/clinics/hospitals/specialists trying to get a cure for her monthly agony. She misses a week every month, and stresses about catching up lessons and homework. This is only going to get worse as we head into her final year/exams.
My question is: does the school have to help us with a chronic illness. They do nothing, apart from set the truancy dept on us, even though we have drs letters and letters to teachers asking for work to be given so she can keep up. She’s an A student, but stressed over catching up. What’s the legal position of educating DD when she’s so ill once a month for a week. Seems really unfair on her.
