What the petition asks
Parents of vulnerable children (and their siblings) with underlying health issues should have the choice to home educate during the covid 19 pandemic.
The risk to people with underlying conditions is clearly high. Parents of these vulnerable children should be given the choice to temporarily home educate, with the school cooperating as far as possible.
