Close Schools in Tier 4 Areas

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Shut schools in Tier 4 areas. Recognise schools as super-spreaders, and take the necessary precautions to protect children, staff, and their families.
This is a dangerous time and the government's lack of concern for educational professionals, children and their families is despicable at best.
Many children and their families in tier 4 areas are vulnerable. The statistics show that school environments are super-spreaders. The safety of students, staff, and their families should be the government's highest priority. Keep Britain safe.
