Best not to, otherwise, before you know it, you'll be singing "YMCA"... and/or "In the Nayveeeeee"

Oi Lizard, shut it!

These are the same people that allow this fiasco

Just don't get me started on that

Them's the rules, and if we didn't 'ave rules, where would be...?

Churchill - In "I've always fancied owning a pub" mode!

If walking or in your own car - no. If taking in a taxi then yes!

Dont blame me - I did not make the rules...

I wonder if this applies to all parents taking their kids to school then?

My favourite bit in Catch-22 is when they all have to start signing loyalty oaths before they can do anything, and it gets to the point where they have to sign loyalty oaths for each item of food at meal times in the mess so there are enormous queues for everything.

Eventually, Major ____ de Coverley comes back from leave, walks into the mess, stands there for a moment looking round and then goes, "Gimme eat. Give everyone eat." And that's the end of the loyalty oaths.

We need a load of Major ____ de Coverleys in this country. "GIMME EAT" should be as well known as "Big Brother is watching you" or "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others".

this must stop until she has undergone a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check. The council said this was a standard requirement for escorting children.

Ok, what if the taxi picks up another kid on the way.

There will be a time in his life when he will not be surrounded by trained people.

and hopefully that time in his life he could either have learned to recognise the oncoming seizure and do something, or he could have grown out of it. It does happen, docs aren't sure why but it happens.

WRT the picking someone up on the way, then this shouldn't be an issue, you don't need a CRB to go on a bus while there are kids on it.
It would be different if the parents were driving the car.

I've just had to be CRB checked to go on a weekend camping with local cub camp. I hasd no issues, but like someone said earlier it just shows that I haven't been caught.

Sounds like there won't if he's that bad.

[Sockpuppet]

If something happens at school then they will have trained staff to deal with the situation.

Our friend's child was diabetic and the school had to send teachers on course to deal with the injections etc...

In a bad mood are we SP ?

Typical emphasis on largely pointless paperwork, what does CRB prove except you haven't been caught yet? Properly vet and asses the people who are really in charge and don't allow others unsupervised access, especially men.

He got to fend for himself someday. What happens on the way home / at school / when his parents are not there. They can't look after him for 100% of his life.

I'm betting she works close to his school and just wanted the free lift.

If not I hope the taxi made her walk home other than charging both ways and if its close enough to walk why don't they do it in the first place. Not encouraging being green are they.

Someone must have posted this already.
