wwyd special needs playscheme

My son has been in respite for 2 nights, wed and thur. He came back fri tea time after playscheme. Where I found out they have had him on a motion ride simulator that holds an advisory caution for the likes of people with heart conditions not to ride.
Youv'e already guessed they have had my son on it and yes he has a heart condtion. I asked respite how he was and they said he was tearful, coughing a lot as if his chest was bad.
Playscheme also reported the next day that he was in a strange mood and kicking all the kids (kicking new but aggression not) Also all attempts to punish went aray as he just laughed at them (oppositional not new but laughing at people is).
It's the last week of scheme, should I send him and what should I do about what happened.

How awful. What have you said so far to them? It is a terrible oversight that they let him go on this ride (you really would expect more from Sn playscheme) and all sounds rather insensitive and badly handled afterwards

I would need to discuss with them and be clear about your concerns/ reservations about sending him again. Would then decide depending on how reassured and confident I felt

Thanks Herjazz, will ask on monday how this happened and might just keep him at home.

That's awful, they should have seriously done their homework on each child, esp being a sn playscheme. I can understand why you are hesitant in going back and would definately mention your concerns.

Agree with herjazz, depends on what they say and how reassured you feel as to whether you send him back.

thanks, mgc.

that's very bad, defo complain about ride. ask what outings they have planned for rest of week, and decide if you feel he's safe enough there, and if you feel OK about that, then consider whether you need the break or whether it's causing more hassle than it's worth.
