There are forms of dress which are unacceptable in our establishment, such as items of clothing which:
- potentially, encourage faction (such as football colours);
- could cause offence (such as anti-religious symbolism or political slogans);
- could cause health and safety difficulties, such as loose fitting clothing, dangling earrings;
- carry advertising, particularly for alcohol and tobacco; and
- could be used to inflict damage on other children or be used by others to do so.
Glasgow City Council is concerned at the level of claims being received regarding the loss of children’s and young peoples’ clothing and/or personal belongings. Parents/Carers are asked to assist in this area by ensuring that valuable items and unnecessarily expensive items of clothing are not brought to the establishment. Parents/Carers should note that the authority does not carry insurance to cover the loss of such items and any claims submitted are likely to be met only where the authority can be shown to have been negligent. Children have good fun when they are doing messy work. We will always try to make sure they wear aprons but accidents happen and we would appreciate if you could supply a spare set of clothing which can be stored at your child’s peg in a small back pack. Please dress your child in suitable outdoor clothing for the weather as outdoor play is on offer daily.
