Advice to do with school!!! HELP
Notifications OFF
My partner and I have had a rocky couple of years. For background my partner clicked on an unknown link claiming to be something that it wasn't and it was IIOC he got 5 years on the SOR and has a SHPO in place that only is to do with devices. His mobile has software on it so is always monitored as per the courts policy. We had SW who discharged us quite quick within 6 months due to it being not as it first seemed.
Little one was at pre school and they didn't have any problem and no restrictions was put in place because of his SHPO being nothing to do with children just devices.
Fast forward to little one starting reception in primary school UK I've had a meeting with the headteacher who immediately shut me down when I tried to explain everything and I even brought official paperwork. They are trying to ban him from pick up and drop offs and even going to fetes and school plays. How am I meant to go about this? I thought I was done fighting for whats needed and now been hit with this. They are only looking at him being on the SOR and not at the bigger picture. I tried telling them about how he is assessed as no/low risk to children because of what the conviction actually entails with the information that the court held but he shuts me down and says they only look at the conviction.
I feel I'm at a loss because he has no restrictions on schools, playgrounds, days out nothing.
please help!!!

Hi, I hope you are doing okay,
There are two documents you need to read relating to why the school will have taken this safeguarding so seriously because they are legally obliged to: Keeping children safe in education and Working together to safeguard children. Schools are legally obliged to follow this documentation.
I work in the education sector and realise this could be upsetting, but regardless of individual circumstances, as I understand it schools would operate this blanket approach if someone was on SOR. I know we know the reasons behind it, however, the schools approach first and foremost is about safeguarding all of the children within the school - not that I am saying it would, but should anything happen at all, they have to safeguard. But also, this is protection for your person too. Should anything happen, with them being sor they would be the first to be "accused" potentially? It's about safeguarding them aswell

Hi, I'm sorry you're going through this. My son is the offender, he has a SHPO restriction of no unsupervised contact with under 18's and just last week his offender manager (Police Visor) informed him that his children's school have agreed to him going on to school grounds for drop off and pick ups. Obviously for my son this has to be with supervision due to his SHPO. It was my sons visor who liaised with the school and managed to get this agreement in place so maybe get your person to ask their offender manager to help.
