loopylulu Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 A friend of mine has asked me if her child has a 30 minute detention should she be informed. The child got was told they had a 30 minute detention a couple of days ago and my friend has not heard anything from the school. I am not sure on what the policy is with this - I thought that if it was a 10 minute detention they didnt have to let parents know - but if it was longer than 10 minutes e.g. 30 minutes then they had to let parents know beforehand. Does anybody on here know? Ive even looked on department of education website for information on there for her but it does not clarify anything.

Lucy-Lastic Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 We only get informed if it is 60mins as far as I know (but then again it has not happened so far). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy-Lastic Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Is there any link to any websites that confirms this Lucy? I have just had a look on the school website for their policy. The policy is there (in the parent portal), but the appendix that outlines sanctions is not attached :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopylulu Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 As a parent myself I would be worried if my child did not come on time - particularly if they were going to be 30 minutes late. I am just trying to help my friend out but cant find any details anywhere. ---------- Post added 22-03-2013 at 20:54 ---------- I have just had a look on the school website for their policy.

gnvqsos Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Even if there is no law most schools will issue a notice which children may or may not deliver to mum and dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopylulu Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 megalithic - there will always be somebody on here who wants to change the conversation - these sorts of people tend to like trying to wind people up - I find ignoring helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopylulu Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I was of the assumption that a slip of some sort was sent home just to let the parent know so they would not worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gym_rat Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 day-time or after school detention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnvqsos Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 So in winter if your child has to walk home alone in the dark due to a detention that wouldn't worry you s2 ? I know a lot of parents moan about this,but in my experience many could walk to school and collect their kids.They sometimes chose not to make the effort and imply the school is being onerous.
