Amanda,
Your implied message is an important one i.e. that if this was run to the
wire then the duty of care towards your members of staff would be deemed to
be a higher priority than your contractual obligations to your student.
Your use of the word pupil suggests someone at the younger end of the
spectrum. It would be interesting to know where you have assessed the
boundaries to be to your obligations (and funding) for anything that might
be appropriate?

Subject: Risk Management Problem
Hello all,
We have a risk management problem. We have a special needs pupil with slight
behavioural problems attending a drama class. She has a habit of hitting the
staff on the breasts causing pain / discomfort and obviously embarassment
and worry.
We obviously do not want the pupil to be prevented from accessing her
programme of study, however, she is not responding to talks about the
expected standard of bahviour. Is there any suggestions how we can protect
the health, safety and welfare of the staff, whilst not excluding the
student ?
Amanda
