Can't blame them with all these lawyers 4 us firms around just waiting to help those unscrupulous individuals take advantage of a situation.

Went to a briefing session at school last week as my 4 year old daughter starts school in September. We were told that the children must be able to use toilets on their own as the teachers were 'not allowed' to go inside.
Whilst I understand the reason, am I going to get a phone call to ask me to come to school as she has an 'accident'? Funny that nurseries are allowed to do this.

on purely health and safety grounds the teachers would not get involved as there might be a risk of cross infection.
and of course because of the society we live in today there is also the question of privacy.
