to report this member of staff to the head?

[walklikeapenguin]

I have noticed that most days when I go to pick up my child from infant school, a member of the caretaking staff is standing immediately outside the school gates smoking a cigarette.

The staff member wears a coat in school colours, with the school logo on it.

I think that:
a) it sets a bad example if the children see
and
b) it presents a poor image of the school to passers by and parents

WIBU to bring this to the attention of the head?

AtYourCervix, but it does work. I don't wear a uniform but when we were allowed to wear white coats (not a doctor either) I was stopped by a man saying "nursie, I need my catheter bag changing". He knew I was staff and could help him even if he assumed I was a nurse.

I think patients would find no uniforms more confusing although you're right, they've no idea which colour means what. I'm not sure that matters.

no. that was because you are female. male = doctor. female = nurse.

I know that but he still saw a white coat (a uniform) and knew I was staff.
