Sense check needed, O wise ones...

Two boys in my Y4 class get on but one boy is dominant and boisterous. There's been a few incidents in the past few months and it's tricky to deal with playground issues as you know. Boy A is trying to play with others and extricate himself but Boy B just keeps on involving himself in his games.
Boy A's parent came in to talk about what we can do to help the situation and we have decided to help with more structured activities at lunchtimes and play times. I typed up some notes into our BM system and thought nothing of it. Parent B had a meeting with the pastoral lead later in the day. Pastoral lead showed the notes I made from my meeting with parent A to parent B. At hometime, Parent B approached parent A and demanded to know why she had been making complaints about her child. I was agahst! I couldn't believe that the PL thought that was OK! I didn't even tell the other parent who the other child was so I could avoid a situation like this; if she asked her child, that's different but it wouldn't come from me. The HT didn't seem that bothered. Was the PL right to show the notes from the system in the context of his meeting or am I right that it's a (huge) breech of confidence? I need a sense check!

I don't know about a breach of confidence, but it doesn't seem sensible if the notes were shown. Fair enough to say that there is a concern because other parents have approached the school, but no more than that. Better to say that staff have noticed x and leave the kids/parents out of it.

GDPR issue. Details of a third party should not have been shared with the parent!

I think that depends on how you worded it. If you mentioned B at all in the notes, then you vant claim GDPR as had their parents made a GDPR request to see all data, they would have seen it.

However, knowing that it would cause upset and confrontation it was tasteless.
