Close Early Years Settings as stuff are unsafe to go back as Scotland done it

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

No safety for Early Year Workers as they have a close interaction with children such as they have to change nappies, hug them etc. As cases rates are already high and the rest of the country is told to stay at home. It is unfair for Early Year Workers to return when they have no PPE or vaccine.
This puts them at risk of catching Covid-19. Therefore the government needs to act on this and make staff and children safe. All teachers should be prioritised for a vaccine.
