Santa Bans Fat Children From Sitting On His Knees
YOUR child is not allowed to sit on Father Christmas’ knee.
The Criminal Records Bureau has decreed:
“Under no circumstances must a volunteer who has not obtained a CRB disclosure … be left unsupervised with children.”

“The climate we work in, and the risks of getting it wrong, mean many school leaders err on the side of caution. And if you are going to ‘err’ I think that’s the side most parents would prefer.”
A spokesman for the Department for Education adds:
“Santas in schools should be treated in the same way that other visitors to the school are managed. Our guidance recommends that for such visitors a member of staff is present.”
