Given the time of year, ie school holidays (has yours not started?) I'd just keep him home. No, it's not helpful or particularly inclusive but unless its a very long term thing and he's only part time, does he really need to go?

Ouch, hope your LO is okay.Until my LO got a Teaching assistant in place at mainstream, I used to have to attend nursery every day so I could be on hand to take LO to the toilet. This went on for months! I thought at the time that it was pretty poor, but I think the feeling was that the nursery teachers would be out of classroom for too long if they were taking LO, potentially leaving the other children under-supervised...Actually it suited us quite well from an emotional/attachment point of view for me to be a nursery for months with LO, but really annoying for you to have to do this...Could you ask if there's a spare teaching assistant in the school or as Donatella says keep him off if it's a short term thing?hope you get something sorted

I think that's pretty poor.My yd had masses of toileting issues when she went to school. They muted the idea of me going up to help her, but I wasn't keen on the idea of being at her (or their) beck and call!In the end, they got some additional funding from gp (if there is a medical reason for the help required, they can access some money from nhs). (That could help in the situation of a cast if it could be processed quickly enough). Presumably, your school has now finished for summer.Classroom TA then took her, - HT had talked about the additional funding being given to that TA, as toileting wasn't really part of her job desc. I don't know if that happened.
