Is this a safeguarding concern or should I butt out?

[BananaSplitsss]

Am a childcare professional so am fully aware is the safeguarding protocols and regulations in schools.

My son has a mate. A girl. They’re in primary school. He’s told me tonight whilst cooking dinner that his mate has told him her mum
’ does sex’ with her new boyfriend and the bedroom door is shut but every time she calls her mum, she shouts ‘ five minutes’.

Not much is the information other than my son is now asking lots of questions: what is sex, what does it mean, what is her mum doing in the day etc etc …

Shall I mention it to DSL or butt out?

Opinions please .

Ages?

What would you say? Her mum has consensual sex with an adult, in her own house, with the door closed?

I find it odd that a primary school aged child knows that he mother 'does sex' with her new boyfriend. Also, just because the door is closed it does not mean it is not inappropriate. I would feel uncomfortable if a young child was having to listen to very noisy sex.

DSL. You know you should. It's inappropriate, might be nothing but should be recorded.

It’s not your job to decide if it’s inappropriate or not, nor is it ours. Report it and let the professionals decide.

Nothing may come of it, but it at least you know you did the right thing by reporting.

I agree with this . Absolutely. Didn’t want to be a busy body- not by any stretch of the imagination, because it is absolutely not my business.

However, safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and I absolutely need to report to the DSL.

My son has been mentioning sex for a few weeks now: what it it, what does it mean. Etc

Will report to DSL.
Thank you.

You’re doing the right thing OP, hopefully it will be nothing but it could be part of a bigger picture.

You’re not a busybody, you’re spot on when you say safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and I wish more people thought like you.
