Male teachers can supervise girls changing rooms under new NSPCC guidance.
Previous guidance said supervision must be by the same sex staff.
That guidance has been removed/omitted.
AIBU to think that is an unwise lack of safeguarding and wonder why the same sex staff guidance was omitted?

Please tell me this isn't true. If so, I would advise my daughter to not change.

Why?? Why would they do that?

Im not sure why the previous guidance about same sex supervision has been removed/omitted,it's seem unwise.

The girls should all go on PE strike, seriously. No more games etc until this is rescinded.

Have you got a link?

I'll be kicking off like the school have never seen before if I find out a male teacher is supervising my 14 year old daughter changing! I'll write her out of PE for the rest of the year if that's what's needed

Sorry, i don't know how to link but its an article in the Telegraph.
