Do they send them home with you at the end of the school day?

No, we have a chemical waste bin in the disabled toilets and the school deals with the disposal. Did you ask the inclusion team in the LEA what was the policy?

Yes when dd started reception the school gave them to me to take home as they hadn't got special bin sorted ! I was very upset about it , it took them a few weeks to get it sorted. They new before dd started school she was sn and in nappies don't know why they didn't sort it sooner.

I have had an issue with the cleaner who asked me to tell child's mum about taking the bins home as it makes it smells in the toilet due o weekly collection. I did not as I felt that it was wrong to do so until I had talked o head or SENCO. That was Tuesday.

Yesterday went to cleaner and said that I had been thinking that whilst I hadn't spoke to the head I wanted ti see what we could do before asking mum ie inquire about an outside bin that could be collected weekly etc. She then whent to the head straight away and said it stinks in the toilet and that his mum must take nappies, the head agreed to this but would bringit up after Easter.

Role on today and I after being rather upset yesterday wanted to speak to the head but due t him having meetings could not catch him until end of school day. At the end of the school day today the cleaner went up to the child's mum at the end of the school day and said that she had to take the nappies with her!!!

I'd be doing all the communication with the head and senco by email, that way you aren't hanging around trying to catch them, they have time to think about the issue properly and you have a paper record of what is happening.
Ask the inclusion team.

My DS3 is in nappies at school. Hardly poos there tbf. But, the school have never asked me to take home soiled nappies. They have just dealt with it, as you would at home. Putting it in a bag and taking it to an outside bin. I can not see what the problem is. It just feels to me that the cleaner is being a bitch about it. Bloody jobsworth! That poor mum probably has more than enough on her plate without having her nose rubbed in it just because her DC isn't potty trained. People!!!

When ds was in mainstream nursery they had to sort out changing facilities for him and disposal of nappies was never an issue, it was accepted by the head as something the school had to make provision for. I would NOT accept the school sending nappies home at the end of the day.
He is now in special school where disposal of nappies is sorted at school.
