That's because the policy should be appropriate for the CHILD! In all my years I have never heard of anyone shutting a distressed autistic child in a room on their own.

Autism is a condition with a very broad range of expression - the staff member clearly had no idea how to cope with the child she was responsible for.

NO! I'm saying that the school should have had 'APPROPRIATE' measures in place to cope with what happened without disrupting the entire school. Those measures should not have included shutting her in a room!
