The experiences of these children are absolutely appalling. My heart goes out to them and their families. No child should ever be physically restrained under such conditions and with such a lack of compassion, especially those who are so vulnerable.
It broke my heart. You wouldn't even do that to a dog.
Since the allegations of abuse at Whitefield school first came to light, I have pushed for a formal review of the circumstances to be carried out. This was agreed but it must now happen without delay to uncover where children who were so badly fail.
Leadership at the school has changed and calming rooms have not been used at Whitefield since 2017, but parents whose children are still struggling with the consequences of their traumatic experiences are outraged that no one has been held to account.
