Lack of care in schools - 09-05-08 21:48
by: whmon
Northumberland is hosting a pilot scheme whereby all schools should offer wrap-around-care and pre-school provision. Needless to say, the PVI sector is finding it difficult.
One particular 3 year old, who would otherwise be in our pre-school, is with us mornings only and then taken to a local school for her funded sessions. The child is not completely toilet trained and soiled herself at school one day last week.
I was disgusted to learn that the teachers allowed her to remain in that state until her mother picked her up from school later in the day. The child was red raw by the time she got home and was cleaned up. The teachers had said it was not 'their role' to clean her.
This is totally wrong. If schools are taking children from the PVI sector they should be prepared to offer the same standards of care.
