I work as a TA in a year 2 class and we have one child with a EHCP so I am predominantly her 1-1 although my contract states I am a classroom TA.
This child has made amazing progress and she has just started to string words together and has started to be able to do simple work tasks like add up and recognise letters.
After school a couple of weeks ago her mum waited for me and asked me if I would be willing to come to their house a couple of hours a week during the holidays as her daughter has made so much progress, not to look after her but just to keep the familiarity as I will be her 1-1 again next year. Up until the beginning of July she hardly spoke and never did any type of work at all but literally these last 2 weeks something has clicked. Her mum had twins 3 months ago so would really appreciate the help. She just wants me to do a few simple tasks with her and keep her familiarity with me so when she goes up to year 3 if she has seen me over the holidays it may not be such a shock for her as going into a new class with a new teacher will be really hard for her.
My question is is this allowed. As it is a school family am I breaking my contract by doing private work for them.
Also can my daughter who is 17 babysit for another school family?
I have had people tell me neither is allowed and I could be sacked.
Does anyone know what the rules are??
