LindsD Sep 2019 11:55am, 30 Sep 2019 29,685 posts	0 LindsD Thanks for support and helpful comments, everyone. The meeting was with the inclusion manager and LittleD, and not with the teacher, which I took as a positive. I shared some of the other feedback about the teacher, which LittleD didn't want to share, and I think that the inclusion manager understood what was going on. Felt quite positive about it afterwards. I have asked for a copy of the exclusion policy.

I know for c9 the knowledge that adults can behave wrong and unhelpfully and this be acknowledged by other adults is important

LindsD Sep 2019 12:41pm, 30 Sep 2019 29,687 posts	0 LindsD Oh, don't be. And I just spoke to the counselling service who report: a. That she is not engaged with counselling and b. That nothing she is presenting is serious enough for a CAMHS referral, despite what school say.

LindsD Sep 2019 2:18pm, 30 Sep 2019 29,688 posts	0 LindsD I know. Head of year just called to say that the Safeguarding Lead thinks that it is serious enough for a CAMHS referral and do I give permission for the school nurse to see her? I feel a bit like it's all becoming about the problems and not about the child. Sigh.
