flag A UK teacher lost his job after displaying flags for unity, sparking debate over safety and safeguarding.

flag Shaun Remmer, a 49-year-old teaching assistant from Thirsk, North Yorkshire, says he lost his job after displaying about 150 UK national flags around his hometown to promote unity. flag He claims the displays were widely welcomed, used AI to ensure legal placement, and were on private property. flag After a complaint, his school and agency said he could no longer work, citing safeguarding concerns and a "safeguarding issue," which he denies, stating his social media focused on child safety. flag North Yorkshire Council removed some flags, citing safety risks and unauthorized public installations, and warned Remmer he could face financial liability. flag He fears the incident may affect his DBS check and future education work.
