Exclude children from rule of six in England

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Follow wales and Scotland and exclude children from rule of six in England so large families are not penalised

Families are being penalised with the new rule of six. Families with more than two children are unable to meet with their family and loved ones. It has been tough enough on these families over lockdown, mental health and wellbeing will suffer if you impose more social restrictions on large families.
