I've posted on a public forum because I am trying to make contact with other parents and there isn't really another way. Those parents concerned will know about this scheme. They'll also be aware that the home/school agreement requires that parents don't post on social media about the school and I don't want to be unnecessarily inflammatory.

Oh, bawdy-nan, I think I should have put an 'LOL' after my previous post. It was a (bemused) observation, not a criticism. ;-)


Hitting the right level of dymanic feedback with schools is a tricky one simetimes. It shouldn't be. But it is. Sigh.


Hope you got some useful PMs. xx

I don't know the ins and outs of this scheme, i.e. the cost, as not connected with this school but I would be more than miffed at our secondary 'insisting' on ipads. We have a home comp and a family ipad and I really do not want to buy another ipad for each of my 3 children.


I can well imagine the benefits etc but funny all the schools who banned mobiles for years citing amongst other probs potential mugging en route to school and home now think it is perfectly acceptable for the kids to be carrying ipads.


It's a slippery, inevitable, expensive slope :(

I just think its a shame that we are seemingly unable to discuss secondary schools on the ED Forum (any secondary school it now appears) without being shut down or told to shut up.


I sincerely doubt many parents in this neighbourhood have a purely hostile or aggressive starting point. They just want opinions and honest discussion.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
