The spectre of Child Protection hovers over even the most innocent of interactions, leaving adults afraid to behave naturally.<br /><br />What the effect will be on a generation of children who receive no response to their affectionate overtures and are left to cry, uncomforted, when they fall and hurt themselves, only time will tell.Macheathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451439759398780345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565737623121795004.post-47331644956880003822011-12-04T20:49:21.951+00:002011-12-04T20:49:21.951+00:00My wife came across a clergyman who worked with ch...My wife came across a clergyman who worked with children. <br /><br />If they became tried to climb on him during play, as children do, he would immediately stick both arms up in the air.

It's important cases like this don't get shoved under the carpet.<br /><br />Bucko, there was certainly nothing like this when I was training.I think the Soham murders were a turning point - despite the fact that neither Huntly nor Carr was a teacher.<br /><br />The legislation that followed - including enhanced CRB checks - created a climate of fear in which teachers were warned never to be alone with a pupil where they could not be observed.<br /><br />Not surprisingly, pupils soon began to exploit the system, and the increased risk of false allegations has made it even more important that teachers should keep their distance.Macheathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451439759398780345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565737623121795004.post-35903818588859536052011-12-03T16:09:55.061+00:002011-12-03T16:09:55.061+00:00I've had lifts off teachers when I was at scho...I've had lifts off teachers when I was at school.
