Doing a schools Bikeability course and the Deputy Head came out to ask why some of the children were not wearing helmets - it's parental choice.
Later my colleague went to talk to her about something else and she had banged her head and was holding an ice pack on it.

Do the parents provide some sort of permission slip stating their child won't be wearing a helmet then?

Not trying to be a dick, just genuinely curious and can understand that the school will not want liability for an (unlikely) head injury.

That's exactly the kind of arse-backwards thinking we should be opposing. The choice should be presumed to be left to the child unless the guardian has directed otherwise
