To be surprised school didn’t ask about DDs black eye?

[Savethebric]

DD (10) gave herself a stonking black eye at the park the weekend before half term (so two weeks ago).

I was fully expecting a call from the school to ask what happened, but nothing. What shocked me more was that DD swears not one member of staff asked her what she had done to her eye!

AIBU? Appreciate DD is fine, but what about the kids who do need to be asked? Or am I mistaken and teachers won’t directly ask a child what happened?

Why would they have rules about emailing outside of school hours?

Surely you would of told them what had happened as that’s what the protocol is at our school.

in our safeguarding training we are always taught to ask both the child and then the parent. So even if OP had phoned the school, someone should have still asked how she got the bruise. In case she gave a different story

I wasn’t considering “complaining” at all

it was an odd thought when I got home from work, hang on the school didn’t call, DD did they ask what happened? No. Are you sure? Not the teacher or the TA or the dinner lady? Nope nobody asked. Which got me thinking - that’s a bit odd that they didn’t ask, what would happen if she was being abused etc

I’m not going to call the school and complain they didn’t ask her!

Seems a bit odd that no one asked. On another note, why don’t school want emails out of hours? I have emailed out of hours this evening, but obviously don’t expect emails back out of hours.
