A HARLOW HEADTEACHER has issued a warning as anti-vaxxers continue their protests outside Harlow schools.

Last week, a number of protestors stood outside Passmores Academy on Tracyes Road offering leaflets to schoolchildren.

Chief executive of the Passmores Learning Community, Vic Goddard later issued a statement on social media.

Mr Goddard said: “Just to be clear. If you are an adult unknown to us/them and you approach our children that is a safeguarding issue and we will phone the police.

“You may be the only ones that ‘know the truth’ but you still cannot do that”.

On Tuesday afternoon, anti-vaxxers were present outside Burnt Mill Academy on First Avenue, Harlow where they again, mixed with schoolchildren and offered them leaflets.

Film seen on social media showed that the school dispersal by very patient staff was taking much longer than usual.

A parent, that did not wish to be named told YH: “I have spoken to their parents who are scared of these people and told me that they walked onto the road to avoid them.

“I just want to pick up my children from school and go home again.”
