Hi-vis vests for SEN kids in playground. Anyone else uneasy?

[sickofsocalledexperts]

I have now heard of at least two schools where the kids with SEN are put in hi-vis vests at playtime, so the staff member can easily see them and "check they are ok". Does anyone else find this odd? Surely some kids wearing these vests must feel rather singled out? Or is it just me and it is a sensible move in a busy mainstream playground?

Ah yes. DS1 had a spot, for a while. I don't think it was persisted with, as a strategy. He was probably more likely to wear it on his head, knowing him. In fact, I could imagine him sitting next to the spot, around the spot, or under the spot, but on the spot would have been too much for his demand avoidant self.
