Safeguarding issue or not?
Hi all,
I have an issue with two parents that are separaetd. They were amicable but now hate each other.
The mother has stopped the father from seeing the child and is accusing him of emotional abuse.
The father is also in touch with me and is accusing the mother of neglect and emotional abuse.
Is the is just parents bickering or should I report this by making a referral?
The child is 5 years old and seems happy to me but has seemed emotional when talking about missing her dad which is understandable. She is home educated by her mother so she doesn't attend a school that I can liaise with. Feeling a bit out of my depth here. I don't want to get anyone into trouble unnecessarily but abuse is abuse? Do I just keep my eye on this, or do I act now?
Wat would you all do?
