What the petition asks
Close early years settings to protect the early years workers
Children aged 0-5 years have little to no personal hygiene skills. Every cough a young child does in our face could be COVID-19. You have closed schools and colleges what makes nurseries and early years settings different. Again the early years workers are getting forgotten. Why are we any different from teachers. We have studied hard and work hard. We should not have to risk ourselves because we do not carry the same degree as a teacher. It is your responsibility to protect all.
