School Safety Plan Concerns

It sounds like a concerning situation. In British Columbia, schools have a duty of care to ensure the safety of students while they are on school property. Here are some key points to consider:
- Schools must have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) and appropriate safety plans in place for students with medical conditions.
- Failing to follow or update these plans could be considered negligence.
- You may consider speaking to the School District or the Ministry of Education for further steps.
Do you have any specific questions or need more details on any of these points?

Subject: Formal Complaint Against [Teacher's Name]
Dear Commissioner,
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against [Teacher's Name], a teacher at [School's Name], regarding an incident involving my daughter, [Daughter's Name], who has Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).
On [Date of Incident], my daughter fainted in the school bathroom. Upon regaining consciousness, she informed me via text. Following my instructions, she notified her teacher, who then panicked and tried to make her eat bread and goldfish crackers and drink water. Despite my phone call advising against the intake of food or water, the teacher had already made her eat and drink.
Later that week, the Individual Education Plan (IEP) case manager informed me that a seizure action plan was in place, but it did not address fainting and should have been updated at the beginning of September, as per school board guidelines. I believe the school failed in its duty of care by not having an appropriate and updated safety plan for my daughter.
The specifics of my complaint are as follows:
- The teacher's response to my daughter's medical condition was inappropriate and potentially harmful.
- The school's failure to update the safetyplan to address fainting as required by the IEP.
- Lack of communication and coordination between school staff and the IEP case manager.
I am requesting an investigation into this matter and appropriate actions to ensure such incidents do not occur in the future. Thank you for your attention to this serious issue.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
