Safeguarding issue? Advice please

My DS (16) has a very good friend. His parents separated recently after a few years of difficulties related to alcohol/anger. I am not friends with the parents, but know them through DS’s activities etc. His mother has moved out to a very small rented flat 1 and a half hours away. DS and dad still live in the house. She has told her son to tell a neighbour or me if he feels worried about his dad’s behaviour. He is about to begin 6th form and wants to stay nearby to do that. I feel very unsettled about this and would value any advice. It is really none of my business but him being between school and college means that there is no point of contact at present.

Who told you that she has told him to tell you if there is a problem?

The boy’s mother told me herself.

I would ask her what kind of behaviour. I can’t see ss been able to do much with such little info but as always do contact ss as they can get the bigger pic.

He needs to tell school not you. They will be more in tune seeing him day to day and have people who are safeguarding officers and are used to establishing the level of risk etc. Tell the mum that. You can’t be responsible for a friend’s son like that.
