Formal complaint about ITT

[withaspongeandarustyspanner]

I have trained recently and, on reflection, I need to make a formal complaint about one of my placement schools.

I will write to my teacher training provider - but who else?

Thanks

That depends entirely on the nature of your complaint.

Unhappy with the quality of your training? ITT provider.

Unhappy with the conduct of a particular member of staff? ITT provider and school head.

Unhappy with how you were assessed? ITT provider.

Concerns around the safeguarding practices in the school (including the DSL)? LADO

ITT trainer knows some of it. But there were several of them who were bullies, which then impacted on my assessment.

I saw one of my 'mentors' by chance, recently, and I had a completely physical reaction to seeing them (I became panicked and my heart began racing).

I've since seen how trainees should be treated and I know I need to say something. I feel everyone hides behind this notion that you don't discuss other schools negatively as it is seen as unprofessional. There was nothing professional about their conduct towards me.

Thank you for the guidance.

I'm so sorry. Very similar happened to a friend on my ITT course. I think just start with the ITT provider as they may well blacklist that school.
