Controversial School Policy in Wales Requires Parents to Change Soiled Children
A new policy in Blaenau Gwent, Wales, requires parents to change their children’s nappies at school, leading to criticisms and concerns about fairness and child welfare. A charity labeled the practice as ‘tantamount to abuse’ while parents and educators expressed frustration, noting an increase in children untrained due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Union leaders and some parents call for more individualized approaches, especially for children with special needs.
