Disagreements are never pleasant. We need to resolve them quickly before they escalate or become personally critical, which is very hard to take back once harsh words are out. We also need to try and resolve them completely to avoid it happening again.

Some information will need to be shared about a child with staff. Like medical information.
For example: As a volunteer at my local school I have a girl in my swimming group who has asthma and a nut
