I would. I went into teaching with the aim of working on the pastoral side - which includes dealing with abuse cases.

TBH, growing up in an abusive household, the stories that I hear make me want to escalate things and ensure that children are looked after. I know it doesn't always happen - but I want to be able to do as much as I can, rather than just thinking "oh, I hope that little girl is OK" and leaving it. Or even reporting it then not knowing what's going on afterwards. I'm not saying I'm a hard person, I just want to do what I can to protect people.

Although in teaching, this is not always an everyday occurance. So it is a bit different to other child protection roles.
