I would establish the BB credentials first. I've helped a couple of people where this scenario has happened and I prefer to establish this up front before going into boarding/alighting but it probably doesn't matter too much.

Sorry misread original post, this was at drop off time, not collection time.
Might need to draft something quite detailed to explain the precise timeline. What time is the school drop off time relative to 8.55am shown on PCN?
School drop off starts at 08.40 to 09.00 - she was parked maybe from 08 45 - by the time she takes the kid walk to the school gate, get to the class and have the convo with the teacher it would easily be 10 mins. She mentioned that she saw the Traffic warden on the street when driving down which probably indicates the guy just put the ticket on.

I would lead with the blue badge accidentally not displayed as that's the gold-plated exemption and must be considered. Where was the BB at the time?
I would add that this is a common activity of assisted alighting (and boarding) as here at the school, which is also an exemption.
If the kid had to be taken back to the car then you have both assisted alighting and boarding. The temperature test was beyond control and part of the assistance until the kid is handed over (or not).
The blue badge was by the driver side door, it`s always there but she forgot to put it.

??????
displaying a BB is an absolute exemption but one was not displayed, so whilst having one is strong mitigation that is all it is.
with a disabled child assisted alighting is just about a given and the high court has ruled that assisting someone who would require that assistance from the car to a place of safety is part of the exemption allowed for boarding/ alighting a vehicle
So your claim is that your were in the process of completing an exempt activity, explain fully and include a copy of the BB.
post your challenge here before you send so we can tidy it up if needed
Am i ok to write something up as a challenge?
