I have googled but can only find US law and guidance or threads on Netmums!
If a parent with PR arrives to collect a child (primary) and you can smell alcohol very strongly on them, where does the school stand legally on refusing to release the child to them? Does the parent's behaviour affect what you would do? (I.e behaving in a drunk manner v appearing sober while still smelling of alcohol.)
Without going into too much detail, I am anticipating a situation where I am going to have to make a decision in a situation like this and would like any information to back myself up with. I haven't been able to get through to CPSLO and I have emailed for advice but may not be responded to until next week.
Any pointers towards official advice or guidelines would be greatly appreciated.
