[quote author=Ralphlauren post=121180995. [/quote] Let me quickly respond to this. If a child complain in school that he/she is hungry isnāt it appropriate for the school to discuss it with the parents? The school never raised up the hunger issue until this allegation of my son came up, then they said my son had complained twice last year of being hungry (in June & November). Meanwhile, it was a teacher that went to call him while he was waiting on the queue to go for lunch. The teacher tricked him that she wanted to show him fish in the office but ended up taking him to the office of the safeguarding lead where they started questioning him. Only God knows what he was told for him to state what had never happened, imagine locking a child up in a shed for 48hrs, will the child not end up in hospital? What happened to hypothermia? It will interest you to note that on the Family Support Worker assessment that allegation was changed to āthe child was dragged into the room and left there without heating? These people are experts in twisting words and trying to manipulate children. To the issue of feeling hungry. My children make their choice of breakfast as there is usually several options available: Indomie noodles & eggs, Sandwich (Bread & Egg) with tea, Cereal (front loops), Cornflakes, Golden morn, Quaker Oats e.t.c but it is not uncommon for them to feel hungry while in school because they eat almost hourly while at home. Surprisingly, the very day we reintroduced packed lunch for all three of them I got a call from the Family Support Worker that my 4year old son had stated that he was hungry in school then I asked him why canāt the school give him fruit or snack from his packed lunch his response was I need to inform the school. They have previously offered us food vouchers which I declined because we have enough food. We are not hungry they have visited the house I showed them varieties of food and fruits as well. Opened the fridge and freezer for them to see that the house is always fully stocked. I am fed up with these people honestlyā¦ 2 Likes |

Ralphlauren:(1) True (2) The kids moved to the UK about 13months ago, parents were already in the UK. (3) One child alleged that an āAuntyā beat her because she was upset for being excluded from the schoolās end of year party but they eventually added dad hit her which was never the case. The other child alleged that he was locked up in a shed for 48hrs. (5) The school never raised this with the parents. Thanks for your responses. |

Those social workers are evil, they gave 2 kids recording devices to monitor the kids' conversation with their parents and instructed the kids not to inform their parents about the devices. The whole thing started when the kids said in school that one was beaten and the other one was asked to face the wall. The parents were invited and questioned, but refuted the allegations. Days later, the kids were given recording devices with chargers. |

Fourcade:It all depends on when you are applying for your PSW, is it now or after 16th may? If it is now then you have nothing to worry about. If it is after then you have to apply just before it expires and upload your proof of passport renewal when you apply. 1 Like |

rvpbae:Bro get a council tax exemption letter from your school and then contact the council when you have this and theyāll tell you what to do next. Thatās the only way you can get exempted. |

[quote author=Odedenshi1 post=121198650][/quote] Sad! I feel for you and understand your frustration. Imagine being offered food vouchers - I am glad you did not accept because some people are so greedy that they take anything free on offer. The issue of kids eating every hour is one that I can relate or understand. I put that issue solely down to my missus that has come to join and was the sole carer of the children in Nigeria. Even this morning, a half term weekend, one of them has just had a small amount of cereal with milk and a cup of hot chocolate. Said, she was full! How come? Not even have toast or apple but within an hour, she will be asking for snacks. The missus feed then junk and mostly sweetened items; cereals, waffles, dough nuts and lots of crisps and biscuits and sweets - she is also the chief officer of eating all them sugar and snack type foo; now moved on to maccyDsvand KFCs. Nja has done her and she has done the kids - they rarely eat vegetables or variety of food - even Nja food is not eaten anymore; Yanga! Anyways, try and make sure the children get up early and eat well and not having to snack every hour.. As for discipline - this is not Nigeria; all the shouting and threats and even beating will not work and kids talk to each other and teachers; sometimes things come out innocently and other times they are tricked or cajoled based on bias or innocent comments. Child says to teacher, there is so much noise and disruption in class; these will not happen in my old school in nja, they will be flogged - green light to interrogate what is happening at home... I should also add that one of mine is entitled to free lunch or food but we go with packed lunch because they do not like school food or eat what they have on the menu; things that are good for them. Missus just give them mostly rubbish and the occasional fruits and yogurt if she can be bothered. They are even entitled to fruits and yogurt anyways. Snacking from lunch box is probably not allowed if they are on school meals... They are generally not allowed to be dipping into lunch boxes at an early age. Welcome to the UK where parenting is different and made even more difficult by the woke attitudes of the do-gooders... Good luck. Keep your head and that of your family down! 1 Like |
