WWYD - Pupils strong body odour ?

Definitely safeguarding for neglect

You should definitely report it as a safeguarding concern - even visitors to a school are encouraged to log concerns, so it really doesn't matter that your only temporary.

Without meaning to sound unkind, is your safeguarding training up to date? I'm surprised that you're asking what to do, that's all. If you have logged it but you're wondering what to practically do about it, then I understand. I'd say it's up to the pastoral team to have a chat with the child.

I'm a DSL and agree with everything @phlebasconsidered says.

I would report as a cause for concern but i'd also consider whether the child itself was smelling due to not washing / no deodorant / unwashed clothes/ lack of sanitary products or whether it is medical ( urine, excreta).

In my time, i've dealt with this a lot and it is not always due to malicious neglect. Sometimes it's because the kid is in pjs by the time the parents get home and they don't smell them to notice they need deoderant. Sometimes it is poverty - my school offers washing machines and free seconhand uniform as well as period packs. Sometimes it is hormonal. Sometimes it is medical - a uti can make a kid really smelly.

The only right answer is to log and investigate. Don't be afraid of ringing parents or carers.

This should have been continually logged as a safeguarding concern...id be shocked if it hadn't tbh!!

Tell the safeguarding lead.

Report to safeguarding as a concern about neglect.
