b) Play safe and treat each incident as a potential crime?
The UK has been having a love affair with health and safety legislation and the Data Protection Act, or rather, a misapplication of both. And has also had a lobotomy where common sense is concerned. Don't hold out much hope for a)

a child falling out of a tree could be 'life threatening' or 'life changing', tripping over a kerb too; there has to be a little more to the guidelines than that or everything would be a potential crime.
