Tell schools to take sickness into account for attendance awards

Closed 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Children with constant hospital appointments never get attendance awards. It’s not fair if others have fun and they don’t just because they have a medical condition.
I think we should still have rewards but it would not count on their attendance if they have any kind of an appointment (with proof) or is sick. The Government’s guidance should say this.
