- This internet space concerns a UK primary school. Its Board of Governors - BoG - appealed in March 2023 to local residents to volunteer and help according to their interest and capability.
- This volunteer - V - contacted the BoG in April 2023. A meeting with the head teacher - HT - ensued on XXX at which she suggested a science club - SC. V accepted with enthusiasm.
- It was agreed that a 40 minute session would take place once a fortnight.
- Although the HT was in the background until recently, the science teacher - ST - was the main contact. Essentially V's line manager.
- The DBS vetting process began at the start of the Autumn Term.
- The reasons for creating this report include ensuring that school volunteers are given safeguard training. It is also my response to disrespectful treatment and the feeling of lack of dignity.
- With every intention of notifying the Secretary of State for Education, I established the necessity of contacting the BoG first.
- I have spent days and money on two railway track boards and associated equipment. No claim whatsoever is made re finance.
- I have spent a long time on this report.
- The least HT can do in response is to offer a written apology, respond positively to 21, or find another primary school within reasonable distance. I trust HT and I will agree on the content of a written reference.
- The least BoG can do in response is to suggest ways to alleviate the situation. Item 23 heralds the best way forward.
- This V would be pleased to start again in the school in preference to another school. He has proved his acceptance of the resource centre by turning up to the third session.
- Forgiveness is a two way process. I will play my part.
