To expect to be told if a teacher examines my DD

[Ermintrude77]

Hello
My Dd is just 4 and attends reception class in our first choice local primary. She is a confident and happy little girl with no problems at school.
A month or so ago she had a scratch on her face - I think from my nail with ran about 3cm on the side of her face and was superficial.
Tonight whilst putting her to bed my Dd told
Me that when that happened ( she was mentioning it as I had cut my finger) her teacher checked her all over , including lifting her shirt to look at her tummy and chest to make sure there were no more.
I understand that teachers need to be vigilant and that part of their job is safeguarding, but is it normal not to tell the parent/carer? I had a look at the school website and can’t see a policy on this and just wondered if this is standard practice at other primary schools?
Thanks for your opinions/ advice x

I had to check a teenage girl once who'd been belted. Our protocol was that I had to request the presence of another safeguarding officer, and it was done in the "sick" room - so away from other children.

The only time I'd check is if it's likely they have chicken pox or a rash. Sometimes they say show you before you've even said anything but I wouldn't check from a scratch on their face.

Something similar may have happened in the school or teachers career previously though so they maybe over cautious?
