It seem a seven year old Bristol girl named Lily-Grace Hooper isn't allowed to use a walking cane at school. The reasoning? Because it could potentially trip a teacher or classmate. Instead she is to have 100% help at all times.
Being an American I don't really know if Health and Safety is a school or government organization in the UK. From reading the story though I can guess the people that made this decision are a bunch of overpaid idiots.
What do my fellow Escapists think of this article?
