Hypothetical example: A parent contacts the designated school adult and sets a follow-up time. Children’s identities and screenshots remain in the appropriate private process, not on a public worksheet.

01Hear the report without making the child prove courage

Listen privately and identify immediate protection needs.

02Address protection before a lesson

Find the responsible reporting and safeguarding route.

03Avoid an improvised settlement

Submit the factual concern through that route without a public confrontation.

04Make follow-up a real commitment

Return to the child and follow up on the actual response.
