A mother has been told she cannot travel to school with her severely epileptic son because she has not been police checked.

Somewhat ott.
And this mother has to get the bus home, I know where the parent / escort would be taken home in the taxi, she is either a parent or an escort, and therefore paid, the Council can not have it both ways. ;) ;) ;)

Any statement beginning with "we cannot comment " = we know we're wrong but wo'nt admit it. If i had'nt seen the link myself i would'nt have believed it Some pillock can decide a Mother ca'nt escort her own child to school? I was a cabby years ago so understand the legalities regarding school runs but whoever dreamt this up & enforced it is a clown & needs hanging out to dry.
   What an outrageous waste of resources. >:(

I would prescribe a large dose of salt to be taken with this nonsense. After all, the story is written by the BBC; an organisation with slightly less credibility than the News of the World.  :o

Journalists the world over cannot be trusted to convey the truth without some kind of political bias. However -- the basis of this story is unbelievable. Soon we will have to clear the streets of adults if children gather in groups of two and above --- for the protection of the children !!! Mind you in some areas it's the adults requiring the protection !!!!
