struggling to look after her brother...

DD said she had a bad day today.Says some children (one in particular I think) have been being mean to her little brother - she has been trying to stick up for him but without much success. She is telling them/her to stop (but she doesn''t) and taking him away from them (but she follows) and she has told the teachers but says they don''t listen.Is there anything else you think I should be telling her to do?Hard to get a clear picture of what is happening without asking leading questions and DS has LDs so can''t explain.Also this is a girl she has always found difficult so often says things about her and would like to see her told off anyway!I believe that what DD says is basically true but just not sure the extent of it. I know kids have to manage playground stuff to a degree but...? At what point do I say something to school?

Say something to the class teacher. Ask for a meeting if talking before or after school is a problem. Take it to the deputy or head if it continues. Needs to be sorted out. If children are trying to sort it out themselves and don't get anywhere, its school staff who have the responsibility to help them.

Ok!Thanks for the reply suze!I'm not over-reacting too much then!tbh I am really impressed that she is trying to and it must be hard for her. But I don't want it to go on any longer - for either of them.Can't be sure if it is just laughing at him and being mean or if there is more to it...but there is supposed to be support in place for lunchtime - so yes, I will be saying something...again...

Yes, have a word now. If there is the possibility that she is exaggerating the issue, then they need to monitor the situation closely, and then intervene if necessary.

Will do.Am cross because I'm thinking - 'where is the lunchtime support?' It's in the statement...Am cross because we say - 'tell a teacher' and she is doing that and nothing happening. Am cross.
