Crazy isn't it!! I was at school in the 90's and it was still ok to take asprin etc!
 
I left school in 2007, and they aren't allowed to give you a PLASTER incase you take an allergic reaction and sue! How mad is that??
 
The world has gone mad hasn't it? :(
 
It scares me to think that that's what Odhrán will be going into..

Terrifies me too!

Working at a nursery we had to have permission to put on suncream (even their own), antiseptic cream, plasters, hats, wrist reins (when out walking) etc and anytime a child fell over etc we had to fill in a form with the time, date, my name, childs name, what happened, the injury, what I did to treat said injury and then I had to sign it, manager had to sign it and parent had to sign it. Bah!
 
My god.. It is crazy isn't it?? In our primary school now, anyone going to collect a child from school has to be known to the teacher.. Eg, the mum, dad and granny are the main people to pick the child up.. If an aunt, sister etc is going instead, the usual picker uppers have to inform the school that morning to let them know before they let the child go with someone they aren't aware of.. I do agree with this, so many stories of strangers taking children around here over the last lot of years xx
