kid at school touching DS privates

[Whathaveidonenoww]

DS has said this had happened on two occasions now and he has told his dinner lady and it’s happened again.

how on earth do I address this? I know kids mess about sometimes but obviously it’s happened twice and DS has told his dinner lady and nothing has stopped this kid from doing it again.

THIS. In addition to the needs to safeguard children, the HT will need to look at why the staff member concerned has not followed essential procedure.

The OP's child did exactly the right thing in reporting to a staff member supervising (it's NOT just teachers, ALL staff get safeguarding training and MUST follow procedure) lunchtime.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, regardless of their role. Each staff member will have received safeguarding training. You need to raise this with the DSL & report said dinner lady immediately.

Is a dinner lady not good enough in your book ? Maybe he doesn't like his teacher, maybe she is unapproachable. Shouldn't we just be thankful he felt he could confide in a trusted adult ?

You need to speak to the school yourself.

He is 6.
He cannot articulate what is happening properly without your help.

Chances are he told the dinner lady that his friend keeps touching or poking him but not on his private parts and she could have told the boy to stop and assumed it was them just playing around.

Your child is being made to feel uncomfortable at school and you really need to speak to his teacher at the very least.

Contact the safeguarding lead today.
The dinner lady sjohave passed on the information.
