Hello. I've got mental health issues and I'm getting discriminated by the head teacher and teachers just cause I don't cuddle or kiss my son in school I think he will be embarrassed about that seen he is 8. And I feel that I can't always do it myself

    As long as your son is ok with it thats really all that matters.
    Have you talked with your son about it. If so what did he say to you?
    The head should know better than behave like that.
    I'd proberly write a letter to the head, that might clear the air

    Write to the school explaining. What is the worst that could happen? Have you explained to your son why hugging makes you uneasy?

    The head teacher got a social worker involved cause I don't say I love you or kiss him bye in school in front I'd other mothers but it's not a safeguarding one.

    Hi @Poppy12. Has the social worker been in touch at all?
    It's a very unusual complaint and I'm sure you're not the only parent who doesn't hug or kiss their children goodbye in the playground.

    The social worker said don't worry I've not done anything wrong but it's not just this it's how my son has been treated at his school for 3 years and myself
