Early Years should follow all other education during lockdown-not open to all!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We have lots of children in a room, we can not do our jobs and social distance properly, we can not wear PPE!
If the whole country is in a national lockdown, and all other types of education open to critical workers and vulnerable children-Early Years should be the same!
We work hard, we love our jobs!
We deserve to be given the same respect and care as other educators.
We are currently being asked to put ourselves, the families and children we care for and our own families at risk.
During this lockdown we should be open to vulnerable children and critical workers children only.
