We can pick up on certain things. It is our duty to report any concerns to the designated safeguarding lead in the school.


However I dont think we have time to be checking all children for knives or checking their bags for drugs every day of the week.
Parents have a responsibility to police their children....otherwise known as giving them a good upbringing. They have to play a part in this. It cant be left to teachers.


The police are doing their bit but maybe they need to put more resources into it.
Im now in Primary but when I worked in Secondary we regularly had assemblies with police officers coming to talk about sexual consent and knife crime, arson, etc. So they are getting out there.
I don't think anyone suggested that, or have I missed something?
