Ban on Miniskirts UK

Godforbid if a muslim had done this, there would be calls to strip off there citizenship and be called living in cave era.

LONDON: Women in Britain’s offices have been banned from wearing mini-skirts to work, and people involved in “customer-facing roles” have been told to look more professional “in a way that shows respect to children and families”.

Around 400 staff in Southampton City Council’s children’s services department received a memo telling them they should dress respectfully and “carefully consider their work attire” , the Daily Mail reported.

Council bosses said in the memo that women wearing mini-skirts could be sent home, while men have been advised to wear “collared or polo shirts, cotton trousers such as khakis or chinos with a belt” .

Women can wear trousers, informal dresses or skirts of “reasonable” length, but “not mini-skirts” .

***“Please try to dress smartly and thoughtfully, in line with other professionals you come across in your day-to-day work, and in a way that shows respect to children and families ,” it said.

Re: Ban on Miniskirts UK

I think any office has a reasonable right to provide guidance regarding the dress code their employees should follow. I see nothing wrong with it. Telling customer facing employees to not show off their panties is reasonable. Telling all your female employees to hide their face and hair is not.

and this is relevant here ?is it?

Yes it is because of the dig taken at the British society by the OP.

Furthermore I, for one, would be equally uncomfortable in dealing professionally with a these two individuals :
1. A person whose panties I can see.
2. A person whose face I can't see.

For different reasons, off course :)

Oh dang.

Re: Ban on Miniskirts UK

its about time :k:

Agree.

I have yet to see a job that allows miniskirts or extremely revealing clothes. Most banks have a uniform and work places have a strict dress code.

Genuine question for those who wear or interact with niqabis... Do you find people have a hard time understanding you? Like, your voice isn't muffled by the fabric?

Re: Ban on Miniskirts UK

I cover and do not have a hard time with anything, but I have yet to cover my whole face…will let you know!* (maybe they won’t hear me because I won’t be talking…) I do plan on covering my face while I am in Pakistan visiting, ok, well, not while visiting, but while shopping and while in the cities, …and would do it here as well but do not have the neccessary pieces.* :bummer:

Re: Ban on Miniskirts UK

Re: Ban on Miniskirts UK

Re: Ban on Miniskirts UK

Who wears mini-skirts to work? I have never seen a girl wearing mini-skirt in the office. However, i think rules are good. I have two assitants and the rule of dressing up in my clinic is up to knee skirt.

Re: Ban on Miniskirts UK

What the banned man said.

I wonder if it was one of the trekkies who banned him for his nick. Spock is not an admin is he.

Re: Ban on Miniskirts UK
