Hi there guys.
Need some advice on what will / could / be possible to be done regarding my son.
My son is in a special school due to autism communication issues and development delay.
All was going well until a couple of weeks ago.
He came home with a bite mark on the outer side of his upper arm.
School wasn't aware of it happening, so rightly i messaged on their parent platform and they advise they would look into it.
This was done, we found out who had bitten him (not given names obviously) and that he would be monitored to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Spring forward to today, my son was washing his hands ready for dinner and the other child (same as previously) has come up to him and bit him, completely unprovoked / expected, breaking his skin.
School rang as they were aware of it this time very apologetic.
I asked what is going to happen and was advised they would seek advice from their management.
I asked if the other child could be moved classes etc. so they're apart and was told that isn't really an option.
They advised they will have to have a teacher permanently assigned to this child to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Now what is likely to happen, as I appreciate SEN kids have issues and various needs.
Do they do the usual like mainstream, would they be suspended, or would they just be kept separate?
Again I get they have issues, my child does, but I want to ensure I'm doing what i can to get the school to keep him safe and would expect the same in return if the shoe was on the other foot.
Any advise appreciated.
Thanks.
One annoyed Dad.
