Ban men from working in nursery settings

[Aliceisagooddog]

After yet another paedophile has been found guilty of awful crimes whilst working at a nursery, surely we need to rethink this. The risks are just too great.

I'm sure it must be so frustrating and disheartening to have the horrible actions of this person seen as a reflection of all men working with children. The actions of a few spoil it for the many. I hope the place and families you work with are supportive.

Thank you my darling.
Sadly I don't work front line and work advisory for all different places. It's just sad men in childcare have worked so hard only to be questioned about their abilities and motivation.

This is an issue only men can solve.

My boss said he found it really upsetting, embarrassing and humiliating when he was asked to leave the room during a midwifery appointment so his wife could answer confidentially whether he was the father and whether she was in an abusive relationship.

I sympathised a tiny weeny bit but asked him if he didn't think the more important thing than his hurt feelings was protecting pregnant women and babies?

I wonder about similar guidelines for men. If you want to be involved in caring professions, then you accept heightened scrutiny and restrictions on the care you can provide for the good of all clients nationally. However much this might hurt an individual man's feelings.
