So if a child has been pushed over or hit etc by another child at school. (Primary). The school are glossing over it saying they’ve been ‘caught by another child by accident’ or that they ‘fell over’ rather than be pushed over by someone else. Aibu to not agree with this?

That seems a bit short sighted with children old enough to tell the parents what actually happened

Well I am a lunch time supervisor. New to the school. I only started two weeks ago. We have to make the calls home if it’s resulted in a head bump or mark anywhere on the face area. But we’re not allowed to say if they were hit or pushed etc. we have to say they were accidentally caught or fell over themselves

Assuming you were not present at the time and this is the first time, let it go. If it happens again, its a pattern of behaviour that needs to be addressed.

If you were there, you saw it, and you are very clear that they are minimising what happened then you are well within your rights to raise this with them.
