Should this be reported?

I would suggest that your friend contacts the Adult Care team at your local social services department, or the LADO (Local Authority Designated Officer), again at your council, who has responsibility for the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults.

Personally, I would be inclined to get social services involved, your friend cannot be expected to care for her nor should this disabled girl have to looked after by her fathers work colleagues.

The work colleagues interact with her, not sure to what extent though. I don't think she is left in the corner. But without the parent there, she is now their responsiblity for the whole work day which IMO is just not right.

i think if your friend's colleague has agreed for this with management and there willing to be responsible it has nothing to do with your or your friend and you should keep your nose out

Management is not the one looking after her for 8 hours a day.

It has everything to do with her friend, her friend is expected to care for the disabled girl whilst the father is not in the office.

I second floss post, do contact them.

What's the actual 'job' is it an office environment or [for example] a care home?

Are you 100% sure that she hasn't been taken on the payroll for some reason?

They will do everything they can to help the father and the disabled daughter, they will not take the daughter away from her father, maybe the SS could sort some respite day care for her whilst the father works.

James, do not make the OP or her friend feel quilty for wanting to speak to someone about this, I certainly would not care for one of my colleagues children whilst I'm at work, I'm at work to work, not to provide a carers role.
