Important note for teachers:

Some of the work of Chad McCail is of a sexually explicit nature. Teachers should be aware of this before accessing relevant Internet sites for pupils. We would suggest that all links be scrutinised prior to showing to classes for discussion and that pupils should be supervised while attempting to access sites including the artist’s work.
