Parents given the option to have disabled children removed from their photograph.

Who on Gods green earth thought that was a good idea?!

Thanks.
School staff can't win sometimes.
This family are very appreciative of the support we give them and that's the main thing.

I’m my experience of ofsted day and having an Sen child the child is given their full support on the ofsted day if the school know they have triggers which can result in meltdowns and being violent. Rest of the time even if they have a full time 1-1 named in their ehcp the ta is used to do other things so aren’t monitoring the child all the time even if the ehcp states that. Mine had a 32.5 hour 1-1 per ehcp who amongst other things should monitoring him to identify early if frustration levels were rising so they could intervene and redirect at an earlier stage but there were lots of times I suspected this wasn’t happening. One time I turned up and the 1-1 ta had been left in sole charge of 2 classes ie. 60 children and although school tried to argue this was a one off I suspect it wasn’t. Obviously then when child has meltdowns and becomes violent it is blamed on the child and the school dont admit the fact that their one to one wasn’t with them. On ofsted days the full support is given so kids tend to have a good day, should be like that every day
