Veil's worn on religious grounds, thats absolutely fine and they should be free to wear them. However, in certain situations eg. if they need to be identified for medical grounds, police matters or security in schools then I do not think it is unreasonable for this request to be made. If they can only reveal themselves to a female then this should be accommodated. A multi-cultural society is what we have and more understanding and working together to over come these rather small problems would make our society a better place. If the situation arose in the nursery I work in, I would like to think that we could work with them to over come the issue of their veil purely on security grounds and I'm sure in most instances they would understand that it is for the safety of their own child. Respect, sensitivity and explanation that's all that's required why make an issue of it.
