Parent at school smelling of alcohol.

My dd is in reception, there is a girl in her class who is dropped off and picked up by her dad.
Most days they come on a bike, the little girl in a seat on the back, not strapped in.
Many afternoons while waiting for pick up, the dad will come and chat with me. Today he did and I could really smell alcohol on his breath.
I later saw him driving his dd in a car, the child was not in a car seat and not even strapped into the car.
Is there anything I can do? What would you do? I feel quite scared for this girls safety in the car.

Write down his registration plate and report him?
Tell the school?

He might have just had a pint with a mate before picking up his kid. That isn't illegal. If he was slurring his speech, or clearly under the influence then I agree you should be concerned.

I am not saying it is illegal to have a drink with a friend.. Techno. It is illegal to transport a child unrestrained in a car.

Oh.....

Sorry, I completely missed that line.

Blimey, you are completely correct. That is one of my pet hates!

I would definitely report it!
