Dear [Headteacher's Name],
I am writing to formally express my concern regarding an incident that occurred with my son, [Son's Name], who is currently in year [Son's Year Level].
As per the Equality Act *, the Human Rights Act *, and the SEND Code of Practice, schools are obligated to ensure their students are not subjected to discrimination or harassment due to their disability. Unfortunately, my son, who is autistic, was verbally assaulted by a teacher at your school. This incident has caused him considerable distress and is not conducive to his wellbeing or learning environment.
I urge the school to take immediate action to rectify this situation and protect my son's rights. I trust you will handle this matter with the seriousness it deserves.
Yours sincerely,
