Hello. I'm new to school supply TA went into work today and got bit by one of the pupils, I had my jacket over my hand and she bit straight through that it left bite marks, swelled, got red and now bruising up.
I've been part time and instead of beibg replaced despite asking I've been asked to go full time. I want to leave a good reputation but dont want to be bitten!
BTW info I was told by agency was working supporting a non verbal child. It's working in a base of 3 non verbal children, the one who bit me isn't tye child I'm allocated to work eith either. I understand its not the child's fault it's their needs but where does staff protection lie in this especially when a marked injury is left.
