No, she wasn't supposed to know as it's not an SEN school.

I know that - but the child must have had an SEN statement or assessment in order to get extra help in the form of that staff member. The purpose of that would be to set out her needs and difficulties for the school/staff member then to properly address.
You keep banging on about a 100% working alternative but there isn't one. There can only be an approach which ensures that a distressed child in such circumstances is treated sensitively and appropriately. Shutting her in a room was neither and as I've said (
more than once now) has
never been considered a proper approach in any SEN setting I've been in. It really doesn't require much in the way of special training to know that!
