It is, there has been stories about this before with people doing the usual 'compo faces'. For the venues, it's a liability issue. The reason many of them are seeking a waiver or some kind of GP letter is because those persons with downs syndrome conditions are more likely to also have cervical spine instability which means they could face a far higher risk of sudden fracture of their neck compared to a non disabled person. Discrimination and being singled out is one argument but equally there's the arguement of liability, safety and protection of the venues. Another situation where people need to look beyond the headlines before they get their frothy mouth outrage. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there were other sources, but I saw it on The BBC web site Parents offered class photo with no 'complex needs' pupils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
