i work in a school. its a nightmare to get appointments to fit around work. ive just returned after a year off sick and am now on a final written warning. all requests for time off for appointments have to be approved by the governors and we lose half a days pay, even if back in work by say 9.30, or if wanting to leave 10 mins early. at the moment i have had to not work fridays to fit in counselling and cpn appointments, but this has only been granted until Nov, then im due to return to 5 days a week. i work 8 til 4 and my appointments are a min of 40 mins away, whoever i see and all my preofessionals work 9 til 5, mon-fri, so is a nightmare.
