What the petition asks
Make it mandatory for schools to be taking the children’s temperature at the school gates during a pandemic
My son has an underlying health condition. This would help all children with underlying health conditions to feel safe in returning to school in this worrying time. It could also protect the staff work force too. So we would like this to be included in the guidelines so school have to take temperatures. The school don’t see it as necessary due to government guidelines. We need this changed.
