If it is intended that the problems that Tim is experiencing is part of a genuine attempt of trying to bring such medical problem to the fore, then I would say 'Well Done' to Corrie.
So many men, experiencing these problems would re-act like Tim, refusing to talk about it or seek any sort of medical assistance. Somehow, finding it totally embarrassing and feeling it is a total slur on their own masculinity.
Corrie,has been good - in the past - at bringing serious problems like this to the fore, (I think they did a good job on male rape). So, hopefully, that is their intention this time. Something/someone (not Aggie, please), will get Tim, eventually, to talk to a medical person - and it will be shown that with that assistance it can be sorted out reasonably easily and quickly. Could help a large number of couples!!!
On the question of the DBS, if Nicky never had any conviction whilst being a sex worker, AND failed to disclose this on her DBS application - then nothing would have come up. However, the failure to disclose is - in itself - a sacking offence. Cannot see she has ANY claim under Unfair Dismissal. Bet, she never got round to joining the NEU (wonder if Daniel is a member of that), so no support from the Union, who would, in any case, just confirm to her that she had no such right.
My daughter laughed when I mentioned this storyline to her, and how Nicky dressed during her short period as a TA, particularly with my description of her long flowing hair. Many SENCO pupils (who TA's work with most of the time), grab hair, even quite short cut ones. I was told it was unlikely she wold have got through even the first day without one of them grabbing and holding onto those false blonde locks!!! New TA's are always warned to tie their hair back as firmly as possible, not to wear any sort of dangly earrings, as well as to dress appropriately.
