What the petition asks
Update the guidance of the Coronavirus Business Rates Relief Scheme to include Language schools
English language providers, along with thousands of tourism businesses, are at risk of losing billions in income unless the gov changes its COVID Business Rates Relief Scheme.
Several local authorities around the country have offered providers rate relief, leading to a “postcode lottery” on support.
