I was hoping a teacher may be able to help with a query I have relating to my middle DS, though I am guessing it in fact relates to all 3 now. Went in to school on Friday to discuss an unrelated matter regarding transfer to Year 3. I happened to mention that my husband and I are sepreated, the teacher replied along the lines of 'oh yes, when social services were involved in reception DS2 had a 'Circle of Protection' formed around him'. I was quite shocked to here this, was in a rush to pick up DS3 and get home for DS1s taxi so did not listen properly or ask questions. Have now been stewing on it all weekend, and as was unable to get the teacher this morning because was in a rush for work I thought I would ask on here. Firstly, think I probably didn't get the name right because cannot google it, but was 'Circle of' something I am sure. Secondly, why on earth didn't anyone tell me?? This event happened 3 years ago, I had my DH (ha!) arrested for threatening to kill me in front of my eldest son who is autistic. Social services became involved, and domentic abuse too. Thirdly, I am assuming all my children were included, would the youngest's childminder have been contacted? What is the implication for all 3 of them?
Sorry, a bit of a ramble, just feel a bit upset that all of these people obviously know very personal stuff about me and my children, but I was not aware of this. Know it is a good thing that schools protect children involved in domestic abuse allegations, just feeling a bit vulnerable about the whole thing. Any help much appreciated....
