The Stanley Special School Community in Wirral, petition to have a detailed investigation into two staff members after abuse claims. The parents have received no direct information regarding the issues, having to learn about the incident from the local newspaper. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/mums-fury-down-syndrome-son-16940810

Since the incident was reported in September 2019, many parents and staff have expressed serious concerns about the safety of our children at school. Long serving members of staff have resigned or retired, and parents believe that their children are at risk. It was disclosed that there had been a whistleblowing investigation undertaken by senior council officials which prompted the Head of Governors to suspend the members of staff allegedly involved. Parents were informed the "Governors have appointed a new temporary leadership team to take over the management of the school whilst a full investigation is carried out into concerns that have been raised ... the pupils’ welfare and best interests are paramount, and we will keep parents informed."

Parents have received no further communication regarding the incident, situation, or investigation until today where we have been informed that the new senior leadership team consists of the two staff members in question both back in a prominent position in the school. Complaints to the Headteacher have been met with appreciation of the concerns however the school should be moving forward to create a harmonious school community. Parents are signing this petition to show how many there are with safeguarding concerns and that the response received to date is inadequate. The majority of the children are non-verbal meaning that truthful and timely communication from our school is vital. As such the lack of communication is extremely concerning due to the trust the parents have to place in the school.
 
As such, parents feel that they have no confidence in the decision-making capacity of the Headteacher or the Board of Governors. Please sign this petition and leave your comments below to ensure our children’s voices are heard. Parents feel forced to do this petition as the school have refused to engage with us for nearly two years over the allegations and investigation.Please leave your name and details so that it can be visible to the relevant authorities.
