Without going into massive details I raised a potential safeguarding issue with school and my child is currently at home poorly but worrying about going back because of the incidents I reported.

I'm not entirely happy for dc to return to school when they are better without reassurance that the issue has been satisfactory dealt with.

What should school be doing to address a potential safeguarding issue?
How long should they take before making arrangements knowing dc has said they feel scared to return to school until they know it's dealt with.

Dc has been off one day plus tomorrow pooh and previously had 100% attendance but if this has not been sorted by Wednesday I am not entirely sure what to do. How long given it is a serious issue would they accept her being off before they fine me?

What was the potential safeguarding issue?

Totally depends really on what it was, and how have you tackled it (phone call/letter/email/went into school) and have you had any communication back?

And re a fine: they wouldn't necessarily do that and it would depend on the safeguarding issue. If you google you'll be able to find your LAs criteria for a penalty notice, as it varies between areas (our LA it is 4 full days).

I agree, it depends on what it is and confidentiality means they most likely won't be able to discuss any details of what they're doing to resolve it with you.

Depends on the seriousness of the issue. Contact school and ask for a meeting.

Nobody can give you an answer unless you share for information. I agree that you need to contact the school and ask for a meeting about what they are going to do to keep your child safe.

It depends on the situation.
