‘Vet all those working at childcare centres’


PETALING JAYA: Any worker who has contact with children at a childcare centre must be vetted to reduce the chances of abuse.

Criminologist Datuk Dr P. Sundramoorthy said it didn’t matter whether the contact was minimal like a cook or cleaner; as long as the possibility of contact exists, he or she must undergo a vetting process that included a background check by the authorities.
