A Leicestershire school has apparently banned parents from attending its sports days as it cannot guarantee that they have valid criminal records checks.
One of the parents went along to see his 12-year-old son and was asked to leave the sports field by a teacher who said that parents were not allowed because they had not been checked by the Criminal Records Bureau.
A spokesman for the school said, ‘... all our policies are subject to regular review and are changed to meet the needs of our students’.
My guess is that this was issued after a spokesman for Leicestershire County Council said, ‘We certainly do not issue any guidance to say parents should have a CRB check to attend school sports days’.
What a lot of nonsense. The school should recognise that at least one father was interested enough in his son to go along and watch him!
