“It will be construed by many parents as a threat and it is not helpful. If schools want to get the support of parents and gain their confidence, threatening them with social services will not help.”


..I agree with this and there was a spokesperson from the Safeguarding team on TV yesterday..(it might have been BBC/I can't remember..)..saying much the same that what these schools are doing in threatening parents is really unhelpful/a child revealing that they are playing a certain game is not something which the schools should involve themselves in unless there are other factors involved/other disclosures that caused them concerns for the child...I think that the schools/federation or whatever it is, is being very over zealous in their actions, which would do more harm than good in gaining the support of their parents to work with them on aspects of E-safety...
