A four-year-old boy from a Liverpool primary school was allowed to walk out of school alone despite a teacher claiming they had been handed over to a responsible adult.
Evangeline Edwin, who was a teacher at Childwall Church of England Primary School, told school leaders she was “sure” she had released the pupil into the care of an approved adult despite the boy being expected at an after school sports club and nobody coming to collect him.
A Teacher Regulation Agency (TRA) hearing heard how on November 27, 2019, the boy known as Pupil A had been expected to attend an after school sports club at the Woolton Road school. Holly Quirk, presenting officer, told the three-person panel how a coach at the school informed officials the boy wasn’t present at the session.
