STAT leads campaign to ban
school chairs ‘bad’ for
children’s backs
STAT is calling for changes to the European
standard which currently allows a school
chair to slope backwards by five degrees.
Backward sloping chairs encourage children
to adopt poor posture which health experts
say increases the risk of back pain among
children during their school years and,
crucially, later in life.
