When it takes two grown adults to physically restrain a three-year-old, letās be clear: youāve not just failed as a professional, youāve failed as a human being. A toddler āplaying aggressively with a fire engineā or āeating sandā does not justify restraint. This is not support.
A NURSERY school child "played aggressively with the fire engine and ate sand". Staff decided that was a "last resort" and used a 2 person restraint hold. Nothing in the incident reports which would justify this treatment of a 3 yr old autistic child. #CalumsLaw.#UNCRC

Our family is living through the consequences of a system that claims to support neurodivergent children, but blocks them at every turn. Our eldest, now 12, has had an NHS diagnosis of Touretteās since he was 5, yet due to a catalogue of failures between the NHS and his school,.
Letās be clear: The Scottish Government have effectively privatised diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. People without a diagnosis have no choices so if CAHMs isn't the right route, when will the Government tell us what is?
