Last term I had reason to have several meetings with the head at the largish school ( primary) my ds attends, mainly to do with some concerns I had about the quality of teaching in his class and the treatment of some children (ds included) by the teacher and ta. There was an email exchange too.
What has been eating away at me now since before Christmas is that among a group of friends not all connected to the school, the wife of one of the governors made comments about me and my ds that she could only have known if the contents of my emails and the conversations had been shared with her. She is not a governor nor anything remotely to do with the school apart from being a parent to a child in the same class as ds. AIBU to assume her husband has shared sensitive information with her and broken some GDPR rules, never mind the safe guarding aspect. I'm just a parent with no real professional experience of these things, but would appreciate any advice that anyone has as I would like to approach the school this week to try and get to the bottom of this. I''m cross and upset my son's 'stuff' has been shared from what I thought was a confidential conversation. Thanks.
