Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like to call on the Government to pass legislation to prevent schools or local authorities from taking action against parents who have kept their children at home because of the COVID-19 outbreak.
There are many parents already removing there children most are de registering.

Because Professionals do not know enough about the decease to 100% ensure our children and or their family’s are safe if a child picked it up at school and is a symptomatic will pass it to family that could be old and or vulnerable. As well as many children being vulnerable and having health issues. We understand the economy of closing all schools but for those parents that are able to do this should be given the option. It’s a safe guarding concern by any parent and should be taken seriously.
