New family moved in opposite. They're a bit strange. 2 dc age approx 8 or 9 and then another age 3 or 4.
Every morning the DM takes the DP to work at around 6.15 am. Shes gone around 20 mins. Leaves the kids at home, no sign of any lights on so I assume they're in bed and she doesn't want to stir them.
What also makes me nervous is that she doesn't lock the front door. She gets home and just pushes handle down and shes straight in.
Do I keep my nose out or report it?
My close friend has begged me to report however shes a social worker in training!

"LADO doesn't deal with parents only those who work or volunteer with children"

I know. She's a trainee social worker (or she's doing Frontline, so half way there). Appropriate for a SW to report to LADO, no? Confused

No.

If the trainee social worker has a concern about a parent then it would to go children services not the LADO unless that parent holds a position of trust.

No.

If the trainee social worker has a concern about a parent then it would to go children services not the LADO unless that parent holds a position of trust. Then it may be both.

OK, thanks. As I said, it's been a while since my safeguarding training.
