Marks on the Body

If you come across unexplained marks, cuts, bruises or scrapes on your child’s body, you must intervene. Ask them about the marks and if you don’t manage to receive satisfactory answers, you must speak to the school authorities.

Loss of Belongings

When your child loses his or her belongings like toys, clothing, lunchbox or money every now-and-then, you must suspect a wrongdoing. It is not normal for a child to lose his or her belongings each time he or she visits school.
