i work in a private day nursery which is around the corner to a local school which most of our children go to. When one of our 3 year old who has irritable bowl had left the nursery and moved full time to the school, he had been there for 2 weeks when we recieved a telephone call from the upset parent as she didn't know what to do as ger son had soiled himself during the morning and the school had telephoned her to go to the school to change him but when she had told them that she works over an hour away and her husband was away for work they said that if she didn't go and change him that he would have to sit in the main school office until she turned up. We were disgusted at their treatment as they had already been informed of his condition. We told the mother that we would send one of our pre- school nursery workers that had previously looked after him to go and change his clothes for her so that she didn't have to stay in the dirty clothes she was very thank full but there was yet another problem with the school when the worker turned up they had said that mother had phoned to explain what was happening but the worker was told that she had to take him and change him at nursery before she could take him back as they have no changing facilities and it's against their policies. The child has since left the school and moved to a different school who is more understanding.

I thought schools were for children to be care for and educated but somehow i think they have lost their way with the care side.
