A persons medical information, eg this childs diagnosis and treatment which was revealed is most definitely private and not at all available to the public.

I was told as much recently (earlier this year) as my son needed assessing for something and they wanted to contact school, they had to ask my permission, i was concerned about privacy and was told basically that if school discussed anything with anyone that didnt need to know as it wasnt relevant then huge trouble could be heaped on them. They took privacy extremely seriously.

How is: In all seriousness though I have been informed that this boy has additional support needs and is already receiving some help with his behavior. The Deputy head assured me he has no knife, and is known due to his issues to brag and make up fantasy stories, they will be addressing it with his support worker and parents.



Any kind of diagnosis or treatment?


You must be mad if you think that a boy like this can make threats and the teacher not be able to reassure the parents of the victim.

Additionally, safeguarding, whilst intrinsically linked with data protection, is far more complex than *some people* seem to think...

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?

My thoughts exactly.

For a child of nine to be sexualised in this way is worrying. Is he being abused? And threatened?
