The school where Chan worked was in the London borough of Barnet and the local council’s leader, Barry Rawlings, has been reacting to the sentence.
He says: “While no amount of jail time can undo the harm suffered by the victims and their families, I hope today’s sentence brings a degree of comfort.
“As a result of this horrific case, the Barnet Safeguarding Children Partnership is carrying out safeguarding audits on early years providers in Barnet. This includes the use and monitoring of CCTV in these settings.
“We are also actively participating in the Operation Lanark safeguarding review which has been commissioned by the Camden Safeguarding Children Partnership to see what further lessons can be learned.
“Our priority remains the safety and wellbeing of the Barnet children, young people and families affected and we continue to offer them our support.
“The council is working with partners, including the NPSCC, to provide practical, emotional and safeguarding support to the families affected. We encourage anyone who has been affected to reach out and to know that support is here for you.”
