Safeguarding Case Study

During outdoor play, a practitioner observes a colleague becoming increasingly frustrated with a group of children who are not tidying up quickly enough. The practitioner sees the colleague grab a child firmly by the arm and pull them towards the toy box, speaking sharply:

“If you don’t listen, you won’t be allowed to play tomorrow.”

The child looks distressed and begins to cry. This behaviour appears out of character for the colleague, but the level of force and tone causes concern.
