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

Cycle Trainers take on the duty of care (doc) from the teachers/parent/guardian
They need to know what the previous holders of doc's view on helmets and enforce that.
The consent form is where they express this view.
Cycle Trainers comply with their view

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