[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the teachers not required to check the premises before the children go out? Maybe even walk around and watch what the children are touching. Most schools require their staff to take a safety class. As a parent imagine receiving that phone call. This is absolutely unacceptable! Heath and safety should go do an anonymous visit and shut them down! [/quote]

I agree that this is unacceptable, AND health and safety should get involved. I find it hard to blame the teacher for not checking for live wires. [/quote]

In the health and safety courses for teachers they actually talk about looking for live wires, exposed nails, splinters, any piles, and other things. Is it always the first thing on the teachers radar no but should they know when something needs to be repaired and to keep the children away. [/quote]

I’ve been a DC teacher for a long time and have never had any health and safety classes. [/quote]

I’ve never walked the premises of the playground to check for live wires.  I don’t think you can blame the teacher for this.[/quote]

Gosh, the state of the school buildings I taught in in DCPs - we had rats rotting in the walls. What do you expect teachers to do about the physical plant exactly? Obviously if you see something imminent, but multitudes of safety/sanitation threats with no recourse tbh.[/quote]
