LifestyleBBCSchools, libraries and parents face 'difficult decision' over David Walliams books
Schools and retailers are pulling David Walliams books from shelves after sexual misconduct allegations, with school leaders calling for national government guidance.
Some schools remove the children's author's books from their libraries after allegations against him.
Several schools have removed David Walliams books from their libraries following published allegations of sexual misconduct and abuses of power against him.
Walliams has sold more than 50 million copies of books including Gangsta Granny, but his publisher HarperCollins cut ties with him in September and major retailers have stopped selling his books.
School leaders are calling on the government for national guidance so individual head teachers are not left making inconsistent decisions on their own.
If your child's school still has Walliams books, the Association of School and College Leaders is urging the government to issue national guidance so decisions are consistent across schools.
