Questions asked at hospital

[Anxiousmummy1187]

I took my daughter into hospital today for infected earring.

mynson was being a menace and I kept having to tell him off, I was very stressed as I’m anxious and hate hospital, we’re going on holiday next week and my card just got blocked so I’m trying to sort it all out in one go so I didn’t have much patience with him so kept telling him to stop doing things like fighting with sister on chair and running around.

when we saw the nurse she asked if she had any allergies etc and then asked what school she was at, who she lived with and first names. Then if social was involved,

I’ve left feeling like they’re going to be reporting me for maybe me telling my son off.. I’m an over thinker 😂 has anyone else had these questions asked I’m proper panicking they’re gonna take my kids from me.

Well you clearly haven't read the full serious case review in her utterly tragic case but it's not the ultimate point of the OP's post.

Dismissive and prejudiced? Nope! Just an experienced professional not frightened to challenge or question anything that may make a child vulnerable to abuse or neglect.

If you had read everything I have written fully I was very clear I don't view a presentation of a child with social care input as automatically 'dodgy'. Just like I didn't think a child not in school is automatically worrying. Just as a nicely presented, polite child with Boden wearing parents is not automatically nothing to worry about.

I look through the lens of the child and their lived experience not purely the parents perspective. When we listen to children and create opportunities for their voices to sing it's amazing what you can learn about how they view the world.

And it's often an eye opener to the parent.

But what they're saying is correct.

I asked for stats and links after making such a bold statement, and derailing the thread. I'm not surprised you weren't able to provide any.

We have to ask the questions because it’s quite literally on the paperwork. Which if we don’t answer we get in trouble as it’s all audited.

Standard questions - don’t worry about it.

That’s perfectly normal, don’t worry

It's Saturday night. I'm mumsnetting while watching strictly. I am not going to log on to my work laptop and find peer reviewed research that you likely can't access without the right account and log ins and will dismiss anyway so I'm not going to waste my time.

Most of my knowledge is gained from coal face practice supported by the findings of SCR's across the country and backed up by academic study. Not all reports are published to the public. Not all research is available to the public.

I'm not anti home Ed. But it's fascinating how out of everything I've said that's the only thing to make people froth at the mouth.

When 1-2 children are killed by their parent or main carer in a multitude of circumstances but with many common denominator factors that is worthy of froth.

Many many more are left permanently disabled, emotionally traumatised and with a myriad of complex support needs as a result of their experiences but hey let's pile on about home Ed and throw a dead cat into the thread

Killed a week I should add

I'm neutral about home education, but your post sounded ignorant to me. I knew you wouldn't be able to back it up with facts or stats, esp. after you quoted the kyra case incorrectly. You can't drop something like that into your post and not expect to be challenged.

I'm out at the ignorant comment.
I'm far from that and work hard every day to try and minimise risk and harm to children and maximise their opportunities. But not sharing 'research' on a Saturday night to people unwillingly to entertain critical thinking and with a pre conceived narrative makes me ignorant haha!

I could share every scr over decades, every piece of research about what puts children at risk of serious harm and death and this poster will still bang on about a tiny part of my first post that has been twisted to suit their 'cause'.

Just for the record not all home schooled/home Ed/deregisterd/ free schooled etc etc are abused but SOME are and the ones who are never seen outside of the home by anyone need looking out for.

Off to name change and block this thread because the lack of critical thinking and willingness to think outside the box is tiresome.

Good night

Probably best @pineappleapplepine

Home schooling is not the same thing as tuition provided by the LA under s.19 of the Education Act 1996.

Home schooling absolutely is another legitimate name for EHE. Here is a government page confirming so.

Normal questions, however parents/adults who abuse their kids tend to take them to different A+E's each time,as to avoid the repeated visits I front of the same doctors

Yes standard. I've been asked every time. Was also offended the first time
