To let them know they are not keen on them ?

[PicnmixTwixnBics]

A friend of mine has just started a new job as a teaching assistant in an FE college. They are working in a class that my DC takes. Friend supports three named students in the class, but in order to not single out these students TA's 'float' around the class to offer all students assistance if needed in spellings etc. The thing is my DC says that they are not liked because they are too 'in your face', and always peering over shoulders.Friend used to work in special needs school so is probably used to all students needing extra help whereas now most are very able. So.. do I suggest friend backs off a bit ,or keep my nose out knowing that the students are taking an instant dislike to them . I am well aware that they are not actually there to be liked, but my DC thinks it is becoming akward and that my friend will pick up on this and want to know why. BTW I have used gender neutral terms so as not to be outed!

I'd keep my mouth shut. What's to be gained from opening it. Not only is it not your place it could probably will land your DC in hot water and not to mention will mean kissing your friendship goodbye.
You can't be telling people how to do their jobs. No matter how well intentioned it is.
She'd rightly go bloody bad and report your dc for serious breach of confidentiality.
If there are any issues with her work that's for the HT to pull her up on.

What the post above said. It's none of your business and in no way your place to interfere. In any case the students themselves are of an age to offer appropriate feedback.

Its honestly none of your business, I'd stay out of it. Nothing will be gained from you interfering.

I’d stay out of it. I can’t see how a child is going to in trouble for breach of confidentiality as that is usually an employment or medical legal term but it won’t make them popular.

If your friend isn’t doing the job how the teacher or head wants, then it is up to them to pick your friend up on this. Just because the children don’t like it, doesn’t make it wrong.

Your DC shouldn't be speaking to you about this, they should be speaking tactfully to your friend.

No one will thank you for getting involved here. Your friend will resent it and your children will be mortified if they pick up on it. Your friend presumably had some kind of assessment plan if it’s a new job? Leave the feedback to her employees.
