Explanation

As a governor, your role is not to directly handle safeguarding issues or intervene in specific cases. Your role is strategic, which means you focus on setting policies and procedures to ensure the overall safety and well-being of students. In this situation, it is appropriate to explain to the parent that you are unable to help with the matter directly but reassure them that the College and Social Care will handle it sensitively. This response aligns with the governor's role and ensures the appropriate authorities are involved in addressing the concern.
