If I’m watching my kids from the window, is that okay? Or do I have to be with them at the place of play?
This is exactly what I was referring to in my previous post. Some would argue that if you can see them, they are being supervised. Others might say that the potential for distractions in the home – phone calls, boiling kettles, text messages – mean they are merely being temporarily observed. This is the kind of thing that the NCAT tribunal appeals board might decide – but then they decided that pet bans were OK, only to be overturned by the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal. And it would be cheaper to move somewhere with a safe play area than fight that beyond one NCAT hearing.
