After death of models in series due to health factors, London Fashion Week models are asked to prove they do not suffer eating disorders. Models will have to present there health certificate from Doctors who specalise in eating disorders.
This does not mean they are banning the zero sized model but they will definitely bann the models below 16 years of age. These certificates – paid for by the models – would then have to be checked by agencies before the models could be taken on their books, the inquiry said.
Few report’s recommendations related to health certificate are:
# Models under the age of 16 should be banned from the catwalks at London Fashion Week and the ban should be rigorously enforced
# Criminal Record Bureau checks should be mandatory for those working with models below the age of 16
# From September 2008 models participating in London Fashion Week should provide a medical certificate attesting their good health from doctors with expertise in recognizing eating disorders
