Ok so in brief... child at after school club has disclosed a safeguarding issue about a school friend (who we know) Myself and colleague have recorded and told the parent of the 'diclosee' at the end of session (who happens to work in a safeguarding capacity) she spoke to the school...as did we. The head said "oh you know that thing (we were in the middle of the playground!) I know about it...we've recorded it so don't worry! I said I would give her a copy of our paperwork which I attempted to do today but was unable to get hold of her. I don't really trust the school...so do I pass this on and let them deal with it...or do I call the MASH team and speak to them …

The Disney Store said it had withdrawn the mug and similar products from its stores and websites and destroyed all current stocks. But Megan's mother Natalie, 31, from Kirkintilloch, said she was concerned the same…
