What the petition asks
Limit the number of children attending educational establishments to 25% during the 'lockdown' to facilitate safety for staff and pupils and break 'transmission' routes to the community. Prioritise keyworker children and the vulnerable without enabling 'access for all'
In initial lockdown there were restrictive measures to limit the number of school attendees. Government has instigated a 'lockdown' but has loosened the guidelines around attendance resulting in many schools being over attended whilst also providing remote learning. Instigate tight guidelines to ensure numbers are restricted as current policy is leading to more risk associated to school attendance and increasing pressure on staff. Schools are safe 'mixing of familes' is not so has to be limited
