The head of another school disclosed to RTÉ he was making a trip to a neighboring town to do his shopping so as to keep away from chance gatherings with understudies and their folks.
The rules state: “Instructors and schools must not be exposed to an impact, actuation (counting endowments), weight or pressure by a parent/gatekeeper, understudy or some other individual corresponding to an understudy’s imprint or positioning either previously or after it has been relegated.
