Hi Eric
I think a quick anon phone call to your area’s Local
Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) would see that board

You should have a designated safeguarding lead at your school
who should be reporting it, if they are not then miss them
out and go direct to your area’s Local Safeguarding Children
Board (LSCB)
This is wrong on so many levels
