To be cross with school

[Backofbeyond50]

Dd2 doesn't find school easy. She is ASD and suffers from anxiety. So much so that her attendance is low.
So in the last year she has received two detention slips for another child.
I let the first one go as she actually handled it quite well and got the detention cancelled with support from a friend. But the 2nd time has made me cross.
AIBU

It's just a mistake. The same happened to my DD, similar first name to the child playing up and it showed up on the parent APP. I just emailed and they removed it.

It wasnt their regular teacher who did it. it was another teacher standing in who was less familiar with the class although this year they've been in so little I can see why mistakes still happen. Some classes are only taught once a fortnight.

In DD's school, students are told about detentions by their form tutor. So if someone mixes the children up and informs the wrong form tutor, this could easily happen.

How do the detention slips have anything to do with her autism?

Our school has explicitly said planners and books are fine with surnames. Knowing a name isn't a data breach. There is lots of scaremongering and we have been advised by lawyers.

Great. Make sure you have written evidence that this is what your school has instructed you to do

It's relevant because the error affected her far more than a child who copes well armt school.
Imagine ever day being a struggle to get a child in on school and on a day she attends she is given a detention slip fir a lesson she didn't even attend.
That is really going to encourage her to attend the next day isn't it.?
So yes imo it is relevant. Obviously I wouldn't go as far as other posters.

No 'fuss' needed. Email school and explain the repeated error and say that since you've highlighted it a couple of times you now don't expect it to happen again and request teachers are reminded to be more careful. The teachers involved will know that any whole staff reminders are probably aimed at them and will no doubt feel a bit shit about it. Which is fine. You can point out errors without making a fuss. I'm sorry it happened and caused you extra stress, tho. I can understand why you're cross.
