REPORT 
 
 
INFORMATION – include names, addresses & vehicles 
During a 121 with social worker today John Jones said that Tom Smith has been acting ’weird’ lately and has been 
skipping school, texting lots, and was collected from school from a male who was not his Dad, in a black Mercedes. Tom 
SMITH also has been seen wearing new trainers and hoodies on several occasions when he has previously not been able 
to afford new clothes. 
 
 
 
 
 
(Who else is aware of this information and has it been recorded elsewhere? This is critical as 
disclosure of this information may pose a risk to that person) 
Others pupils in the school are aware of the new clothes as they have commented on them. No one 
else other than John JONES saw him get collected from school. It is not believed that his parents are 
aware that he is skipping school.  
 
 
 
If the information is from a 3
rd
 party would they be willing to engage with the police?
