We recently had a parent publicly out, via school Mum's WhatsApp group, that my Year 5 daughter's primary school principal was accused recently of sexual abuse against a year 6, 11 year old, school girl inside his office at the school over an 8 week period (every Friday). It is alleged by the two girls in the office with the Principal that he regularly stroked the arm and played with her hair, after pulling the blinds, locking the door and using his coat to cover the view through the door.
The police were called. The school and police both found the allegations were not malicious but could be neither proven, nor disproven, and the girls have now left the school and the Principal continues in his role.
The police have said in a written email to the alleged victim's Mum, that it doesn't pass the threshold of evidence to prosecute, "but the behaviour remains of concern", and "the information remains retained in his file, and may be referenced in future safeguarding processes". The school after the parent divulged what was alleged to have happen, and the police's view, finally confessed an "incident" had happened. And it says they have now "introduced a new range of safer working practices" but refuse to say what they are. And that they have also introduced a policy that says "all small group work should be visible" but refuse to show any parents the policy or disclose why small group work only needs to be visible now.
I have emailed the school 4 times asking to meet with the school about my daughter's safeguarding at the school and safeguarding in general (but not the allegations as they say these are confidential which I accept) and they ignore my emails (unlike any other general email I've sent over the years). The school also removed the Principal from the year 6 residential 3 night trip due to parent complaints and concerns (but won't confirm he will be banned from future trips, so that concerns me, that my girl will likely be in the trip with him overnight from school grounds for 3 nights unsupervised, considering his behaviour that police are "concerned about" carried on for 8 weeks without any staff raising concern, as it was the girls that finally reported him).
Should I be concerned? AIBU fir being unhappy with this response, and feeling they should tell us what measures have been introduced? And what this new small groups working policy is? For context, most parents seem happy enough that new safeguarding measures, which remain a secret, are said to have been introduced.
Or should I just carry on with my life, like most parents, and forget about it, now the police are not pursuing charges, and the girls accusing the principle have now left the school.
