“Rising numbers of schools and nurseries are
banning staff from touching children because they
fear accusations of assault.
In some, teachers are ordered not to put
plasters on cuts or grazes or apply suncream
without parental consent.
The paranoia over legal action also means
many nursery workers will only change nappies in
public areas where there are witnesses.”
