As a PH driver who takes quite a few Spectral kids to schools all over, I think that this is probably the tip of the iceberg…

As someone on the spectrum please understand that autism is not an excuse for bad behaviour. If these pupils are behaving like this then it isn’t because they are autistic. The BBC have conflated autism with bad behaviour for years and it’s very unhelpful.
Horrible yes but in a lot of case’s this is the least worse option. The use needs to be better monitored. And it should be a last resort. But your in a situation were those children outburst could easly result In serious injuries to themselves or others.
Another day, another new low for this sub and its troglodytes. Justifications for child abuse against disabled kids. Sickening
Fuck this article and the BBC for not addressing the actual problem which is the absolute state of funding and resources for supported needs education and ASN schools. These teachers are being spat on, battered, stabbed with scissors constantly at these schools and the governance around them is appalling, there’s hardly ever enough risk assesments or on-going evaluations of the pupils. The teachers are frightened and unequipped for these children, of which – I am sorry, are half the time a lost cause and need serious one-on-one support in a private setting, where they wont pose a massive hazard to others around them.
It’s derranged how comments on this thread are justifying abusing kids lol
Looks like Detention is still being used as a “teaching” method.
I don’t think it is unreasonable for adults working in these schools to not want to be treated as human punchbags
For all those commenting how horrible they think this is, okay then fine, go volunteer at an SEN school and let these kids assault you on a daily basis, see what sort of behaviour you are defending. I know someone who worked at an SEN school and they described it as incredibly dangerous for the staff
I see the 19th century asylum mentality is alive and well.
Beyond grotesque – and worse still, some bullies are drawn to SEN teaching because it gives them access to vulnerable kids who can’t speak up for themselves. Teachers who went along with this monstrous punishment regime should be banned for life from working with us.
Thank the gods for the majority of SEN staff, who are angels-on-earth doing their absolute best in a horrendously underfunded system.

I read this as Artistic pupils and was very confused
