I can't get to the bottom of teachers and OH. I, too, am a parent governor at a local primary school- foundation (previously grant maintained as opposed to LEA). We had two cases of long term ill health last year and when I mentioned early referral to OH to get the matter moving, I was told that teachers had it written in their contracts which meant they couldn't be referred for the first six months - I thought it was aload of rubbish, but the head and chair seemed to agree on this point. I assume it is different for foundation schools as opposed to LEA? Was I just being fobbed off?
