To not consent to DD going on school trip?

DD has additional needs. On a school trip last year, she was allocated to a parent helper and nearly got lost.
This year I have offered DP to help, but parent helpers were informed last week if they could go - DP wasn’t asked.

I can’t really give consent unless I know what arrangements are in place, but I’ve been battling over clarity of provision all year, and my emails are often ignored now. E.g no response to DP offering to help plus a follow up message.

Another parent that I trust has said she’ll look after DD, but I don’t know if the school will agree. Plus her DD has additional needs as well, and I think it’s a lot to ask.
I can visit the place separately with DD, plus she has a big event the evening/weekend following the trip. I don’t want her to
miss out, but I am worried after she nearly got lost last year (left in a toilet).

(And not as an additional carer for any other children and not in ratios etc. purely for DD)
