Hi, Advice please! I have an on-going issue with a parent whose son has challenging behaviour but she just thinks he is 'a busy boy'. Finally they agreed to an IEP. Things going much better since then. Thought all was well. But.... a parent helper (who has signed a confidentiality agreement so shouldn't have done this) has told her about 2 occasions where she felt I was 'un-necessarily harsh' with her son. One was a 'telling off' at carpet time. The other (which I vividly remember as it is the only time I have ever done it) was when he had to sit out of his playing for 2 minutes on a chair (part of his IEP) because he wasn't being kind to friends. Then (nightmare) I…

Hi One of my staff recently completed the lengthy form that would have made her an official supervisor within the group. Ofsted have returned it saying the responsibilty for making a member of staff a supervisor is now down to me, the registered person. Which is great, but I wanted her to supervise in my (and my deputy's) absence, does anyone know if I can nominate any of my team to run a session in my absence providing I've done all the correct checks etc. Thanks

I recorded each one incident have staff meeting about confidentiality and attitude. Was trying to have a quiet world with her but she is just unpredictable, really hard to talk to and I feel fear when talk to her. Is that’s something I should talk with Head about?

Hi Well just been told that school may not open on strike day..thinking as school club we could help parents out and open all day. However we rent a rooms off school and it is thought that head does not want us to open so that we are in support of those on strike. Im just not sure he can do this. Anyone else who uses rooms at school but is not run by the school been told anything?
