  • Childs right to dignity.

    I have just been informed of a situation where a mature 15-year-old child in hospital had their bathing and toilet needs attended to on occasion by a member of the opposite gender. When the child asked for a person of the same gender the comment was dismissed as being silly..

    There was no suggestion of any impropriety but does a child have any rights in this matter and are there not safeguarding issues to be considered?.

    Equality laws of course require that if a female can attend to a boy then a male must be able to attend to a girl.)
