This teacher has the support of her headteacher and the NUT, she has been asked to go to the police station and provide fingerprints as she has a common name - WHY has she been asked to do this - is it just to save the police time as there is a backlog - I don't think it was a requirement in the past? Of course safety of children is paramount, but is that really why this teacher has been asked to go and be fingerprinted?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
