Teaching assistants issue

[chatnamenotalreadyinuse]

Ds is in a year 1 class with a little girl with SEN. The girl concerned has a council funded TA for half of the day.

There is normally a TA for the full day in the year 1 class - well there has been in the past.

So in theory there should be both TAs (i.e. the SEN girl's TA and the class one) in the morning and the class TA in the afternoon but what seems to be happening is the class TA isn't there when the SEN one is.

Surely they should both be there as if she has enough SEN to have a TA assigned to her then she needs that support and the class should also have their TA?

Seems like a cheeky reallocation of resources thing to me.
Does anyone with more knowledge of this sort of thing have a view?

Id tick the wrong boxes anyway lol .....have done all my life .

Hey I wasnt being funny with you,ya know just genuinely curious if id been denied the chance to tick the boxes .

Nicks chick sorry if you thought I meant you didn't have talents of your own and could only manage the plimsoll pairing
What I actually meant was that dd's TA is employed because of her specialism in Autism as stated on the statement. So seeing as her hours are fully accounted for in the statement and she does no extra hours in dd's class then the only tasks she does are connected with dd and so isn't available for more generalised classroom support.
Obviously when dd loses her plimsolls (regularly) though her TA helps her find them
