Pressure mounts for nanny register

Pressure should be exerted on the newly-constituted Better Regulation Task Force to reverse its previous recommendation to the Government and support the creation of a national register of nannies, says a leading nanny representative. Tricia Pritchard, professional officer at the Professional Association of Nursery Nurses, made the call after a Task Force spokesman said the recruitment of six new members to the 15-strong body would not alter its stance on the issue, which it set out in a report in 1998.
