Hylands School in Essex has banned students from touching one another and romantic relationships in order to ‘keep children safe’.
A high school has banned physical contact between students in a bid to ‘keep children safe’.
A letter sent by assistant headteacher Miss Catherine McMillan, seen by EssexLive, says staff do not condone ‘any physical contact’ between students. ‘The inference is that you can’t touch anyone, children won’t know what is or isn’t appropriate, and the ability to empathise with their peers is being taken away.
It continues: ‘This is in order to keep your child safe. If your child is touching somebody else, whether they are consenting or not, anything could happen.
