Wondered if anyone could advise me, we have a child who's parent will not allow sun cream, says she doesnt want child to look like a milk bottle (her words not mine). Any way my reaction is no sun then, however she says we must take him out to play and she will provide a cotton long sleeve top and a sun hat. Im not comfortable with this, has any one come across this before and what did you do about it, need to write it into our sun protection policy. not really sure what to do.

Having a browse round the HSE site and came across a statement saying that there is not a legal obligation to carry out annual electrical equipment checks Over the years I have paid a fortune for these to be done on an annual basis because I knew Ofsted inspectors would ask for evidence of this. The money could have been more purposefully spent. Attached are two H&S publications on this matter which you may find useful to add to your H&S files.
