Vanessa George worked at a day nursery in Plymouth for 3 years and was well-liked by parents and coworkers, but was found to have taken indecent photographs of children at the nursery and shared them on the internet, leading to major reputational damage for the nursery and loss of trust from parents despite the nursery having passed all required background checks on George. The incident highlighted issues around how people with no prior record can still commit serious crimes and damaged public confidence in schools and nurseries for a time even after reassurances from police that proper checks had been conducted.
