Dd has just started year 2. She has cerebral palsy, her specific problems include mobility problems, mild speech delay, visual processing issues and problems with continence. She is not currently statemented (though we are considering asking for a statement) and is in mainstream.
When she was in reception, we had numerous issues with the TA at the time, lets call her Mrs A. She had obvious objections to having to meet Dd's additional toileting needs and we had put dd in pull ups for school to try to minimise stress whilst we dealt with the constipation that was causing in continence issues, purely because this TA got so arsey with me every time she needed a change. Shortly before the Easter break I was phoned by the school to come in to change dd because of an 'accident'. I arrived to find the rest if her class in PE but dd sat in the classroom, excluded. She had a little skid mark in her pull-up. Mrs A had refused to change her and as a result she missed PE and was upset and humiliated. I went slightly bonkers with the school, had a meeting with the headmaster, patiently explained how they had breached the Equality Act and required assurance that this would never happen again.
At Easter the TAs switched classes and we got Mrs B who was amazing, super supportive and net DD's needs with nary a blink. She stayed with DD's class through year 1 as well so the prospect of a new teacher AND TA for yr 2 was a bit stressful.
Anyway, it all went well, new TA was Miss C and a half term in, we love her, she's young, enthusiastic, warm, supportive and adores Dd. we were very happy. Until this morning, when we turn up at school to find that with no warning or explanation, TAs have been swapped and we have lost Miss C and back with DD's class is Mrs bloody A.
I am tamping. Though not specifically allocated to her, the TA invariably works more closely with dd than the others, and if all the people to swap our lively one with, the head has paired DD's class with someone who allowed her personal distaste to compromise my child's wellbeing and happiness, and breached the EA. she has made her dislike of my child plain and obviously resents meeting her needs so how can I trust that she will meet them properly when she's failed to do so in the past?
I am waiting for a call back to make an appointment yo see him. AIBU to be angry?
