Remove children from counting in the 'rule of 6' meeting regulations in England

We ask that the regulations in England are changed, removing primary school age children from counting in the 'rule of 6' meeting regulations, as is the case in Scotland and Wales.

The current approach unfairly affects larger families, and prevents many grandparents seeing their grandchildren.

You may wish to sign this petition which calls for the same action: Make children exempt from coronavirus "rule of six"
