Child given money by "Vicar" at school

[TakeALookAtTheseSwatches]

So my 10 year old daughter (year 5) came home from school on Thursday and told us the Vicar (possibly just a trainee, I'm not entirely sure) who was taking their collective worship at school gave her £5 to "get herself an Easter treat" and that it was "just between me and you" I asked her if she told the teacher and she said no. I feel quite uneasy about this, should I say something to the school?

It's pretty bad. I've never known a school to have such a poor system, but I've never worked in Primary. Perhaps Secondary schools with more students and more issues focus on this more.

Quite.

It is bad. I regularly confer with school safeguarding leads and social services during holiday periods.

Yes, you will do. I'm not on the Safeguarding Team, but I know they do regularly.

Hope all is ok…

Noone is worried about "this child", because "this child" ignored the instruction not to tell anyone, and told her parent. People ARE worried that if there was any nefarious intention behind the gift, that "this child" will not be the only one targeted, and those children may not have told anyone, and could very well be in imminent danger. It should have been reported to the relevant authorities immediately.

Well, absolutely no update after so much discussion about children in danger and the necessary contacting of all of the " relevant authorities" so I would imagine the actual situation wasn't exactly as described in the first place.

And is there still no update?

No
Noone is worried because the kid's story is a fairytale!

What the kid made the whole thing up?! Or the mum made the whole thing up?!

This is like the teacher bought a Lego set thread 🤣

An adult should never ask a child to keep a secret.
Please report as this is classic grooming behaviour.

Or she got so fed up with people calling her a liar that she decided the thread was not helpful to her.

Absolutely. Some of these comments show why people don’t report things.

That is horrific reading, what an evil bastard and what an absolute scandal of incompetence and disregard of vulnerable victims.
I hope he gets hell in jail, absolute scum.

You don’t have to. You can just read OP’s own posts.

Or people’s lives aren’t for your entertainment and she doesn’t owe you anything

So near on 2 weeks on, any "update"?

Christ guys. Get your own lives

Already posted

Why start the thread then

I think it's 3 weeks!

To get advice.

Sure

I think this kid found or 'found' a fiver and made up the vicar cover story. The school knew immediately the story could not be true, and has told the op this and why, so she has had no motivation to return to the thread.
