Just had a meeting at the school, well a quick discussion.
I saw the place where she got out. She climbed under a fence while the person looking out for her went to take another pupil to the loo. It's about 20 yards from the main road and she was gone 5-10 mins. The people from the local nursery did find her (thank god!). The nursery is next to the school but still in front of the main road.
If she had got onto the main road and avoided being hit by a car then she would have been in an area of lots of roads. She is big enough for people to have thought she was not far from her parents etc. She could have wandered for miles without anyone taking an interest.
The head of the ASD says NO to funding for a 1:1! and they are going to keep her in the school at break times.
I'm now going to make some phone calls to see what my rights are. - Made some phone calls and have been told i need to push for 1:1 for at least break times etc. as keeping her in or restricted is not suitable. As its not written on her statement that she needs 1:1 then i will be writing a letter requesting an early annual review.
I also phoned the local nursery and was told the school didn't even know she was gone! and that it was a parent of a child at the nursery that spotted her and took her to the nursery

Would somesort of buddy system be possible?
who is looking after her when she is kept in??!
ffs hope this gets sorted asap. keep fighting!!
My word - that was a real lack of care situation. You are right to question about keeping her in. It is ilegal to keep a child inside for that amount of time, particularly as it is for the benefit of the staff, not of your daughter.
a 1-1 sounds absolutely essential and absolutely best practice, which you should be expecting at all times.
Fight for your rights! and Lou's.
