bad day let down by pad delivery and chalenged over saftey

[lucygreen]

spent all day wating in for pad delivery and rang onceto cheque only for them not to arive and to ring again to be told there was an order era and to make do till next week when they can deliver .

had a run in with the senco who insists for health and saftey they have to use the crelling reins on all school trips with my 15 year old even though i have tried to use them alot less outside of school. we do use them new and bussy places and when she seems overloaded and i can tell she cant focus.

sometimes hard to know what to do for the best.

I always leave the pad service a note to tell them to leave the delivery under the stairs or somewhere and then I can just go out and not worry about it. Do you have anywhere they could leave them?
Don't know what to say about the Crelling harness, I suppose at least she is still going out with school and, if that's what it takes maybe its worth it? They often go for the easiest option though instead of learning and practising how to deal with the behaviours, easier to use harness no matter how much it would be great for her to go out and about without them.

we used to get our pads thrown over the back gate if out.

in the school where i work we dont use the harnesses for over 13 year olds as we feel it is not appropriate for the pupils dignity .
