Feeling guilty - complaint about teachers

[raspberryberet7]

I absolutely have to make a complaint about Dc teacher. They acted terribly and the situation in question does need to be complained about. My problem is how to feel less guilty about it. I am a people pleaser and hate getting people in trouble (they absolutely deserve to be). I just don't feel great about it and wonder if anyone has any advice to rid myself of guilt other than. Reminding myself it's absolutely necessary

Follow the complaints procedure, if complaining formally. Remember that you are your child's only advocate, and that your complaint might stop it happening again.

If the complaint is reasonable then there's no need to feel guilty.

I've been a teacher since 1994 and have complained about three of my daughter's teachers in that time. Two of whom were colleagues.

Drip drip drip

What happened?

It's really outing so don't want to say but it was serious and teacher didn't follow school procedures

Keep it factual.
Do it for your dc and all her classmates.

Keep a paper record of all correspondence with the school.

There you go. Procedures are there for safety reasons mostly.
You could prevent a future , even more serious, incident.
Tell yourself you are not doing this to be nasty, you are doing this to prevent future incidents.

Who told you?

Thank you so much everybody. You are all right and I need to do this I'm just a wuss!

I found out and it was confirmed by the teacher in question

1. It'll prevent it happening again
2. It might push the school to review things.
3. You are your DC's one and only advocate, and if you don't speak up on their behalf, no-one else will.

If it helps, can you term your complaint as being about the incident/s rather than the teacher? e.g. a process not being followed, or a lack of communication? Everyone can agree that a dangerous situation is unacceptable without having to openly agree the teacher is useless.

Exactly, if they have failed to follow official school procedures which have caused this significant safeguarding issue and have led to your child and others being at risk, they have admitted it and you have evidence why wouldn't you complain?
