    You are talking nonsense as you do quite often and then try and backtrack upon what you said previously to try and make it look better for yourself, At no point will people who work in a School all know the individual needs and situations of every child as it is simply down to a need to know basis only.

    When you were at School things may have been different but I can assure you that your posts on this matter are pure guess work at best and have no relevance as to what is actually happening in todays Schools.



    Whatever you say.


    I am not here to convince you or anyone else.


    Of course every member of staff wont know each individual childs needs. But Those that have contact with that child will!


    I was making a point by saying that many kinds of staff have varying degrees of contact. Since all staff are bound by confidentiality it is no different to Secretary's at GP surgeries or likewise.


    Don't believe me, that's absolutely fine, I genuinely couldn't care less.

    I'm sorry, im just finding your rambleings hilarious now, of course its not public information, and it never will be, unless the school is especially stupid as it appears it actually maybe.:(
    Just because you think of a situation that fits in your head, doesnt make it so.



    A child receiving additional support could very easily be public knowledge.

    WOW ! Why argue ?


    Let me clarify.


    The School in question whilst being a regular mainstream school, also has facilities for children with special needs / issues (Whatever the PC term is) Most of these kids are integrated with the mainstream classes, most of the time. They also have additional staff who specialize in this area. Some of the time they have a separate environment. I think it depends on the individual needs of the child.


    Some of the kids its obvious that they have additional requirements, others its not so obvious.


    My son actually had no idea that this other kid was one who had issues, and both myself and my wife didn't know either.


    By implying as the dep head did, that this child had additional needs, I don't think was wrong. It did explain why he may not have realized how he acted / what he said was appropriate. They will still address the issue and I suppose work on that area.


    I've absolutely no idea what issues this kid may have and nor do I care really.

    Main thing is your son needs to feel sure that he's not going to be harassed by this boy again. I do find it a bit disturbing that a 9 year old would have come out with stuff like that. Teenagers, I can imagine it, but 9?? sheesh.

    Everyone is too worried about the privacy of one child to be interested in another being safe and secure at school...

    enginesuck I was not arguing with Guest101 merely pointing out that his posts are nowhere near the truth as to what actually happens Today, I actually find it quite it sad that he believes half the stuff he comes out with and am quite concerned for his wellbeing.

    In all cases, volunteers sign non-disclosure documents and are bound by confidentiality.


    This is for the safety of all parties.


    Teachers are allowed to discuss this, as long as the knowledge is otherwise public.


    If the student gets 1:1 help in class, that is public knowledge, his or her classmates are aware of this. Children are not bound by confidentiality.

    You are incorrect that all volunteers in schools sign confidentiality agreements.

    Even were it correct, it would be rather pointless given your claim that teachers are permitted to discuss such things, no?


    Put your hands up.

    No, lets keep it real, some us wanted to correct your assumption that special needs should have been known to the wife.

    I would have been very worried if a nine year old were pressuring my child for sexual favours at school, same-sex or otherwise!
    Ok, maybe the boy bragging about fictitious knives has been dealt with by the deputy head, but what action is being taken to stop this poor disturbed soul approaching any of the other children and making inappropriate demands?
    ..Maybe someone should be looking into what goes on at the child's home?
