My heart breaks when I read things like this. No, No, No!!!! Just stop! 🤬💔 If you understood, you’d write “ C finds it difficult to organise himself and needs help, C’s mother meets his needs by supporting him to do this.” Language matters! ( think about what you’re writing!)…

@TanyaAdkin @martinimarie Cited by the HT to the LA ‘C has poor organisational skills but it is because his mother does everything for him. ‘There’s a SALT coming to school to see C. I hope it’s not something the SenCo has arranged as it’s a waste of resources’.
