Re: My Dairy

Strange isn't it..how many of us old gits have, over the years, banged on about corporal punishment never doing us any harm..yet this appears to be the bone of contention here.

The child writes that he hates it when his uncle beats him...

Teachers are trained in safeguarding children..they know the 'indicators' of physical abuse....fear of adults, withdrawal, unexplained bruising etc..etc..

They should also be aware of any changes in behaviour of the child in question....the fact that the police and LCC safeguarding both state that there is nothing to answer to here shows poor judgement by someone....

Considering that the teacher probably has to report this (to cover his/her backside from ofsted box tickers), my money is on the fresh from university social workers at LCC safeguarding overreacting on a slow day
