Hello. My name is Jason Barnett I'm a male and a Special needs teacher who's worked in Education for over 20 years. Having read a lot of posts in the past I have honestly registered with the aim of raising this issue for parents, so hope thats OK to do etiquette wise on the board.
It recently came to light as clearly evidenced in the video where I discuss the case with Shadow education secretary Angela Rayner that OFSTED and DfE procedures for addressing complaints were so flawed and unaccountable to the complainant, that it resulted in a number of children subjected in a school to acts of extreme violence without investigation over a period of 4 years to date.
After having had raised the concerns with numerous individuals over the 4 year period, Angela Rayner finally accepted on camera that the failings in the system had allowed the children to continue to be hurt up to the present day and that the same system effects every child in every school across the country but said she was powerless to do anything about the failings until she was in power.
Damian Hinds's office and the DfE have refused to investigate the failings and whether or not even more children are at risk of harm and I would like to know if any parents have had issues with failing to get a satisfactory feedback on the outcome of any complaints they have raised and if this is a more widespread issue.
If possible if you do have any input please also comment on the Youtube video where as the conversation grows I can use it as a tool to encourage politicians to see that parents are concerned and that someone needs to act.
