School exclusions: 'He was never allowed on school trips and was sent home or put into isolation during Ofsted visits.'

Claire Parker from London, UK whose son has autism says: 'It started with the school asking me to bring my son home at lunchtimes every day. I was also asked to collect him 30 minutes before the end of the school day. He was never allowed on school trips and was sent home or put into isolation during Ofsted visits. The situation caused problems, work was impossible for me and my son suffered health problems and lost a lot of confidence. He is now at a new school and has only been sent home once for illness. I can't adjust to the phone NOT ringing and still feel on edge thinking I can't leave the house until the end of the day just in case the school calls.'
