On 3 October 2009 I reported that a student required surgery following the negligence of therapists and staff at Carenne Special School/Carenne Support Limited. Following the release of a document by "hatho", it can be proven that Christine Porter, Marion Baker and Lyn Duncan knew of this possibility as early as 29 April 2009.
In an email between Mrs Porter and Mrs Duncan, Mrs Porter pointed out that the student was supposed to be in his walker twice a day and had only been placed in it three times per week by classroom staff. Mrs Porter said that the student's therapy had "slipped significantly" in his new class. She warned Mrs Duncan noted that the student may require corrective surgery if their therapy regime isn't followed. Mrs Porter also claimed that the student had demonstrated a "marked decrease in muscle length and tone."
hatho reported that the email was supposed to be destroyed but she kept a copy of this valuable evidence.
It demonstrates the complete negligence displayed by Carenne Support's therapy leader and Mrs Duncan when they were aware of the issue six months before the student required surgery.
