"Mr Chan was charged with nine counts of taking indecent photographs of a child and six counts of outraging public decency. Bright Horizons said it was shocked and appalled by the crimes of which he was convicted. In a statement, the nursery said: Our thoughts are first and foremost with the children and families affected, and we are committed to offering support to them during this incredibly difficult time."
"Yesterday, the education minister Olivia Bailey told the Commons that as part of this review it is "considering the mandatory use of CCTV in early years settings". Ms Bailey added: The safety of our children comes first, so we are considering the mandatory use of CCTV in early years settings through our review, which we are getting under way rapidly."
The government is considering installing CCTV in nurseries across the UK following revelations that an early years worker in north London abused multiple children. Mr Chan worked at the nursery for seven years and was charged with nine counts of taking indecent photographs of a child and six counts of outraging public decency. Bright Horizons said it was shocked and appalled, commissioned an external expert to investigate safeguarding practices, and offered support to affected families. The education secretary commissioned a local child safeguarding practice review and formed an advisory group to examine CCTV use. Chan remains in custody and is expected to be sentenced on February 12.
