Hi ginnie,
Firstly, Im sorry that you didnt get the position!
I think that I would have said that if the mother was prepared to disclose this information to me, its almost like a cry for help on her part. She is almost asking for your advice or help. I think it would depend entirely on your capacity in that situation, for example as a nursery nurse, you probably should refer it to higher management. However, as the deputy manager, you should probably have the knowledge and skills to deal with the situation without involving any third party AT THIS STAGE. Obviously you would have to keep an eye on the situation closely.
Im guessing that SureStarts reasons for not disclosing the information at all is due to the fact that the child is unharmed in the situation where the partner hit the mother. Tricky one though.
And no, I dont think you have gone too far in writing to head office. You have every right to appeal their decision and question their judgement. I do hope that you find a new job soon!
