Inappropriate touching in primary school

If a boy (9) has been doing this, one child discloses to parent, parent reports it, school interviews a whole list of girls (yours among them), finds it has been happening to your girl over a sustained period, speaks with your girl about it, gives the group of girls a counselling session at break time....

Would you expect to be informed, as a parent?

Or would you expect to be sent on your jolly way for a lovely Christams break, and have a tearful DD9 tell you this evening about the investigation and counselling that took place at school all week?

Contact chair of governors - school hols are irrelevant here. And the LA.

If the school had dealt with this properly they would have nothing to fear in terms of reputation. They are fair game now after their failures.

Headteacher will be monitoring emails. Or they should be. I’d send another message to say that you expect a proper response by the end of Monday or you will be escalating it.
School have handled that very badly, all parents of children involved should have been brought in and informed. Who was with your child when they were interviewed and the disclosure was made. School have been very foolish I fear. This is Very serious and will come back and bite them I’m afraid.
