Charlotte's son was attacked repeatedly by a teaching assistant while he was at school.
The mother of a young boy with complex needs has called for all special schools to have CCTV after her son was attacked by a teaching assistant.He was kicked, pushed and had his head held down in the 20 minute assault, and his mother Charlotte said a security camera had picked up the full extent of the attack.
The school said it had “followed all processes correctly” and that “children's safety and wellbeing were always at the heart of everything we do.” Tobie tried to crawl away but the teaching assistant followed him, and kneed him in the back as he was crouched behind a small gate in the playground.Clifford's court appearance was the first time Charlotte had seen the footage, despite her son being attacked in April 2023.
When she got the call from the school to say that her son had been harmed by a member of staff, she could not quite believe it. "If that security camera had not picked it up, then we would never have known what had happened Tobie,' Charlotte said.Charlotte has no problems with the school, which she described as "excellent". She believes that all education settings where there are vulnerable children should have CCTV in the corridors, in the classrooms and in the playground and that it should be kept for at least 12 months.
