I'm sure at some point I'll feel experienced enough and have signed up to more providers to be selective about work and then that will factor into decisions to just not go into that borough as often.
It's just strange, we could talk about doing what we can and making conscious choices against bib shorts and other overly specialist looking gear to make yourself relatable and make short journey utility cycling more appealing to those we are training and then you mention helmets and hit a brick wall.
If I'm at the schools that give a choice I'll often just go with "it's what your parents put down on your form, sorry" and swiftly move on. I'm yet to have a child arrive in a full face helmet and have difficulty as a result but I'm sure that day is on it's way for me and yes I'll fail them if they can't do the looking back no exceptions.
@Clockwise. "Wearing a helmet is a matter of personal choice, generally I chose to not wear one. Today I chose to work for a borough who make me wear one."
At schools without helmet compulsion I explain to the kids who have to wear helmets that their parents have chosen this for them, other parents hav not chosen for their spawn to wear them, and that I have chosen not to wear one..
