If you believe everything you read, "health and safety" is to blame for a lot of fun events being cancelled. Plastic duck races, ice cream toppings and even Morris Dancing have all allegedly fallen victim to excessive health and safety regulations.
Fear of litigation, organisation costs and a misunderstanding of the requirements needed to stage an event, can all be reasons for cancelling. However, on many occasions ‘health and safety’ gets the blame.
"Village fetes are an important part of British community life and no one at HSE wants to put a dampener on anyone's summer fun. All that is needed is sensible and proportionate preparation, not excessive paperwork and precautions. If other people tell you that children need goggles to play conkers, and lifejackets for apple bobbing, tell them it’s not the case!
"HSE advice is that the important thing is to ensure that health and safety requirements are fit for purpose, sensible and acted upon."
